Common patterns between dengue cases, climate, and local environmental variables in Costa Rica
Dengue transmission poses significant challenges for public health authorities worldwide due to its susceptibility to various factors, including environmental and climate variability, affecting its incidence and geographic spread. This study focuses on Costa Rica, a country characterized by diverse microclimates nearby, where dengue has been endemic since its introduction in 1993. Using wavelet coherence and clustering analysis, we performed a ti…
Reducing dietary intake of added sugars could affect the nutritional adequacy of vitamin A in adolescents
The vitamin A fortification of sugar for household consumption should be reassessed according to the current epidemiological profile in Costa Rica to promote strategies that reduce the prevalence of overweight/obesity in adolescents by lowering the consumption of added sugars without affecting vitamin A intake
Bayesian spatial modeling of childhood overweight and obesity prevalence in Costa Rica
Especially for childhood obesity, the average years of schooling is a non-linear factor, describing a U-inverted curve. Lower percentages of households in poverty and population under 14 years old are slightly associated with higher levels of obesity. Districts with high commercial and touristic activity present higher prevalence risk

Coiotes (Canis latrans) que fazem visitas noturnas a campus universitários e bairros urbanos da capital. Baleias-jubarte (Megaptera novaeangliae) que jogam com as crias na proximidade das praias turísticas. Antas (Tapirus bairdii) que transitam por rotas traçadas para visitantes humanos em áreas silvestres protegidas.

Mathematical and statistical models for the control of mosquito-borne diseases
Objective. To summarize the results of research conducted in Costa Rica in which mathematical and statistical methods were implemented to study the transmission dynamics of mosquito-borne diseases. Methods. Three articles with mathematical and statistical analysis on vector-borne diseases in Costa Rica were selected and reviewed. These papers show the value and relevance of using different quantitative methods to understand disease dynamics and s…
