Dengue is the world's most important and fastest spreading viral vector-borne disease. Due to
international trade and travel, demographic and climate changes, the global incidence of dengue
increased 30-fold during last 50 years and it is now estimated that 50-250 million cases occur each

cases of potentially fatal severe dengue disease. The social and economic burden of dengue is very

The aim of this study is to examine demographic and socio-economic changes in Thailand from
1982 to 2012 and to compare them with the evolution of dengue epidemiology in Thailand. Some
160 dengue epidemiology-related articles, reports and guidelines have been revised to investigate
the potential impact of socio-economic and demographic factors on dengue. Socio-economic and
