An investigation of the spatial distribution of dengue cases in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia

In recent decades, dengue fever has spread throughout developing countries, including Malaysia. Understanding the distribution pattern is thus important for the sustainability of urbanization. The goal of this study is to examine the trend of dengue cases reported in Johor Bahru District from 2015 t...

The least standard distance for dengue cases was 0.104 m in 2015, and the greatest was 0.120 m in 2018, whereas dengue cases in 2016, 2017, and 2019 were measured at 0.111 m and 0.116 m, 0.106 m respectively.
