The average age of the cases was 14 years, with the female sex being the most affected with 53%, in the same way, 15% indicated not having the drinking water service.

#### **4.1 Spacial location**

The spatial distribution of the 573 dengue cases is heterogeneous in 36 municipalities in the state of Chiapas (blue points in **Figure 1**).

## **4.2 Moran's index**

The Moran's Index obtained, with the number of CDCs in the 36 municipalities of Chiapas, was 0*:*115, which indicates that there is a spatial relationship in the number

of cases observed in the municipalities (*p* � *value* ¼ 0*:*001). Therefore, it is convenient to study the CDCs with a spatial model, since it is a counting variable, a Generalized Linear Spatial Model was used.
