The majority of the burden occurs in the South-East Asian Region of the World Health Organization. Bangladesh is a lower-middle income country located in South Asia, with strong seasonal weather variation, heavy monsoon rainfall, and high population density. Dengue has been endemic in Bangladesh since an epidemic in 2000. The aim of my research was to investigate the influence of climate on dengue transmission in Bangladesh over the period January, 2000 - December, 2009. To achieve this aim, I conducted a series of studies integrating epidemiological and socio-environmental factors into a unified statistical modelling framework to better understand transmission dynamics.</p>
