Introduction:
The search pattern was designed such that it includes articles from
2015 and 2022. The search for the articles was done on Google
Scholar , Scopus and Web Of Science. We filtered out many irrelevant
research articles and included only those research articles which were
published in between 2015 and 2022 and which had specific origin
from Russia , United States and Pakistan.
Articles were searched mainly on Web of Science and Google scholar
using following keywords ; emergence of dengue in Pakistan, dengue
and third world countries, climate change and dengue.
This article review consists of research data from 5 articles of
Russain , USA and Pakistani origin.
Environmental factors:
Social and economic factors also play a crucial role in the emergence
and spread of dengue fever in Pakistan.
In the United States, Le Menach et al. (2014) identified poverty and
inadequate healthcare access as significant contributors to the spread
of dengue fever in urban areas. [4]
In Russia, Gushchina et al. (2016) suggested that low public awareness
and inadequate healthcare infrastructure are contributing to the
spread of dengue fever in the southern regions of the country. [5]
In Pakistan, Kamran et al. (2021) identified inadequate health
infrastructure, low public awareness, and lack of preventive measures
as significant contributors to the increasing burden of the disease.[6]
