DESCRIPTION:Dengue remains a substantial public health burden in Southeast
  Asia with most individuals experiencing at least two infections by the ti
 me they reach adulthood. However\, the movement patterns of the virus rema
 in poorly understood hindering targeted interventions. We used the geocode
 d locations of hospitalized dengue cases in Bangkok (Thailand) and Cebu (P
 hilippines) to explore the small scale dispersal of the virus in these urb
 an settings. We inferred the transmission kernel that was most consistent 
 with the observed spatio-temporal pattern of cases and used our findings t
 o inform individual-based models to explore the potential impact of spatia
 lly targeted interventions\, including the use of insecticide spraying.
