Recently we generated and made available a large dataset holding climate-driven estimations of dengue virus (DENV) transmission potential for the period 1979 to 2019 across the globe with high spatial resolution. Resorting to several statistical, time series approaches, we are now quantifying how much DENV transmission potential has decreased or increased due to climate-change trends between 1979 to 2019. Areas of the globe where climate has stressed transmission potential will be identified.
