First global 'early warning system' for dengue launches

A new online dashboard will give researchers, governments, and the public a real-time picture of the global dengue situation for the first time. The Global Dengue Observatory, developed by researchers at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), draws together the latest data from 88 countries around the world to estimate the current number of dengue cases each month at both a national and a continental level.
