Systematic characterization of case trends, serotypes, affected demographics, spatiotemporal clusters and hot spots, and environmental determinants was undertaken to guide evidence-based dengue prevention and control policies in Goa and across western India.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A health center level spatiotemporal analysis of dengue from 2011\u20132024 was performed using passive surveillance data routinely collected from all 34 health facilities through the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme, Directorate of Health Services, Goa. The dengue trends were analyzed using the Seasonal Mann-Kendall (SMK) test. The space-time trends, dengue case clusters (high and low transmission zones across Goa), and forest-based forecasting were performed using the space-time pattern mining framework in ArcGIS Pro 3.x. The negative binomial generalized linear model with log link was used to quantify location effects. The correlation between climate change and rising dengue incidences was determined using a distributed lag non-linear model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The dominant dengue virus serotype in Goa was DENV-2, accounting for 58.6% of infections, followed by DENV-1 (21.51%), DENV-3 (17.87%), and DENV-4 (2.03%). The clusters of dengue cases were predominantly observed in North Goa\u2014the SMK test showed a significant positive trend across 16 of the 17 health facilities in the district. The space-time analysis showed a significant monotonic increase (standardized Mann-Kendall Z-statistics\u2009\u2248\u20093.94;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) of dengue cases in recurrent high-high clusters in Candolim, Porvorim, Siolim, Pernem, Panaji, Saligao, Mapusa, and Vasco health centers. Forest-based forecasting for 2025\u20132029 predicts consistent caseloads in the high-high cluster, with an average annual increase of ~21% expected cases. The regression model showed the significance of climatic variables with a lag period of 2\u20133 months and a total annual rainfall threshold of 630\u2009mm in North Goa and 607\u2009mm in South Goa. Rainfall above this threshold could lead to higher dengue transmission.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Integrating space-time analytics, negative binomial modelling, and climate-lagged associations produced operationally useful risk maps and short-term forecasts.
