2. The papers had to use an epidemiological study design (e.g. time series analysis, spatial and/or temporal analysis and descriptive study) to identify the association between climatic variables and incidence of mosquito-borne diseases and/or vector factors (e.g. mosquito density, distribution, infectious life span).
In addition, since our pathological reports had not been computerised, instead of collecting pathological findings for all adenoma we used an efficient epidemiological design, a case cohort design, to review and collect a set of random samples.
