Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease that threatens over half of the world’s population. Despite being endemic to more than 100 countries, government-led efforts and tools for timely identification and tracking of new infections are still lacking in many affected areas. Multiple methodologies that leverage the use of Internet-based data sources have been proposed as a way to complement dengue surveillance efforts. Among these, dengue-related Google search trends have been shown to correlate with dengue activity. We extend a methodological framework, initially proposed and validated for flu surveillance, to produce near real-time estimates of dengue cases in five countries/states: Mexico, Brazil, Thailand, Singapore and Taiwan. Our result shows that our modeling framework can be used to improve the tracking of dengue activity in multiple locations around the world. As communicable diseases spread in our societies, people frequently turn to the Internet to search for medical information. In recent years, multiple research teams have investigated how to utilize Internet users’ search activity to track infectious diseases around our planet. In this article, we show that a methodology, originally developed to track flu in the US, can be extended to improve dengue surveillance in multiple countries/states where dengue has been observed in the last several years. Our result suggests that our methodology performs best in dengue-endemic areas with high number of yearly cases and with sustained seasonal incidence.
