abstract = "In Brazil, around 12.5 million cases of Dengue fever were recorded
from 1990 to 2016. The Southeast is the most affected region with
just over 6 million cases registered during this period with
linear increase of 47,000 cases per year. In this chapter we
present an overview of environmental risk management, associating
the concepts with case studies of how Dengue fever outbreaks
respond to climate variability. We also bring a discussion on how
some factors can influence future patterns of Dengue fever in
S{\~a}o Paulo State. Dengue fever incidence clearly responds to
temperature increases that are predicted to increase in the
future. Without any prophylactic measures public treatment costs
are likely to increase in the future. These costs are likely to be
much higher if we consider the other diseases associated with the
same vector such as Zikka and Chicungunha, plus emergency actions
to mitigate the problem during outbreaks. Investments must be
allocated for prevention focusing on long-term monitoring of
temperature and El Niņo data. Authorities must be alerted when
mean temperature surpasses 24 °C, because of the measured increase
of dengue cases during the El Niņo years. Finally, prophylactic
measures must be intensified between March and May, when the
disease peaks in the region.",
