High-resolution spatiotemporal analysis of chikungunya epidemics between 2019 and 2020 in Salvador, Brazil: a municipality-level transmission dynamics studyResearch in context by Hernan D. Argibay, Cristiane W. Cardoso, William M. de Souza, Raquel L. Souza, Maysa Pellizzaro, Geraldo M. Cunha, Julie Clennon, Scott C. Weaver, Mitermayer G. Reis, Uriel Kitron, Guilherme S. Ribeiro

“…The census tract level incidence in 2020 exhibited a non-linear correlation with the 2019 incidence; up to a certain level, the 2020 risk increased as the 2019 incidence increased, but when the 2019 incidence was extreme, the 2020 risk was reduced. Interpretation: These findings suggest that CHIKV transmission is localized, even during what appeared to be a citywide epidemic, creating high-risk pockets within the city. …”
