From the text ... 'We carried out a univariate correlation analysis between the number of focus of bushfires and dengue cases in four Brazilian states for the period from 2000 to 2009. These states are responsible for 50% of the total number of focus of bushfires in Brazil in the 10 years analyzed. Results point to a negative correlation between bushfires and dengue that are highly significant in the four states studied.' © Copyright of Journal of Environmental Health is the property of National Environmental Health Association.
