This research project is entitled “Assessment of Dengue Outbreak in Pandi” aims to answer the following: a) Thus the rate of Dengue in Pandi is increasing or decreasing?
Hypothesis 1: (The Dengue cases here in Pandi are increasing because of the rainy season.) b) Thus the geographical location affects the rate of Dengue cases here in Pandi?
Hypothesis 2: (Dengue cases most probably happened in the place where there were many trees and grasses.) c) Thus the sanitation of the environment affects the rate of Dengue cases here in Pandi?
Hypothesis 3: (Most of the Dengue- carrying Mosquito lives in a dumped and isolated area.) d) What would be our action as a people of Pandi to
