Dengue fever risk increases due to pools of stagnant floodwater.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Dengue fever risk increases due to pools of stagnant floodwater?

Yes. Multiple systematic reviews and epidemiological studies confirm that standing water from floods and inadequate drainage creates prime breeding sites for mosquitoes, thereby increasing the risk of dengue fever transmission.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature contains strong evidence from systematic reviews and modeling studies showing a clear link between flooding, stagnant water, and increased incidence of vector-borne diseases like dengue. There is no evidence refuting this well-established epidemiological relationship.

A socio-hydro-epidemiological model for simulating trade-off between dengue infections, water shortages, and adaptive behavior.
2026
This system dynamics modeling study demonstrates that standing water, such as pools created by water management practices, increases mosquito abundance and subsequent dengue transmission.
