As the rainy season approaches in regions like Southeast Asia, Africa or with persistent rainfall in South America, the risk of outbreaks of vector-borne diseases like Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya, and Malaria rises significantly. This threatens public health and places strain on healthcare systems, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas. Accurate and timely diagnosis is essential to prevent these outbreaks and control the spread of these diseases.
Key Disease Cases during the Rainy Season:
Dengue Fever:
The WHO reports a near doubling of global dengue cases every year since 2021, with over 12.3 million reported cases by the rainy season in 2025, surpassing the total for 2023.Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa experience significant surges during the rainy season. For example, in Singapore, mosquito activity intensifies during the rainy season (May-October), and monitoring shows that the dengue transmission risk remains high. (Global Strategic Plan - WHO )
In the Americas, dengue cases increased by 15% in the first quarter of 2025, and a continued rise is expected before the rainy season.（CDC Health Alert)
Malaria:
WHO points out that the rainy season in tropical countries is a peak period for malaria transmission, with increased mosquito breeding leading to higher infection rates. Floods during the rainy season (such as in Pakistan in 2022) resulted in a fivefold increase in malaria cases; Africa accounts for 94% of global cases. (World Malaria Report-WHO)
Yellow Fever:
PAHO reports that in 2025, yellow fever cases were reported in flood areas after the rainy season in Bolivia and Peru, with expanded mosquito breeding grounds accelerating virus transmission. (Yellow Fever Case Distribution Analysis - PAHO)
