Operational research on dengue: critical review and research agenda
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Dengue fever presents a significant global health challenge with profound socioeconomic implications, particularly in developing countries. Effective control strategies for dengue are vital to mitigate its impact on health systems and communities. This study presents a critical review of operational research (OR) studies on dengue research published in the last two decades, including topics such as transmission dynamics, forecasting, and optimization. We also identify current trends, research gaps, and potential research avenues for future investigation in these domains. More specifically, this study serves as a ground resource for academic researchers, practitioners, and healthcare authorities. It provides insights into the latest methodologies to improve dengue control efforts and encourages OR researchers to investigate this crucial health threat. Such efforts can greatly reduce healthcare expenses and improve public health.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
