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.
