Spatio-temporal clustering of dengue fever cases and their association with environmental determinants in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: a qualitative analysis

This study addresses a current research gap in Medicine concerning Spatio-temporal clustering of dengue fever cases and association with environmental variables in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in Tanzania. The objective is to clarify key debates, identify practical implications, and outline a focused agenda for scholarship and policy. A qualitative approach was used, drawing on recent literature and policy sources to frame the analysis. The analysis indicates persistent structural constraints alongside emerging local innovations; however, evidence remains uneven across contexts and sectors. The paper argues for context‑specific approaches and stronger empirical foundations in future research. Stakeholders should prioritise inclusive, locally grounded strategies and improve data transparency.
