Abstract

Dengue peaked in 2024, causing a significant epidemic in Brazil. This article uses big data analysis to understand public perception of dengue on social media platforms. Based on digital methods, the study employs social listening to identify patterns, sentiments, and discussions. It focuses on six topics: evolution of mentions, distribution by channel, gender, engagement, related terms, and sentiments. The results highlight trends, the most active channels, and political influence, providing valuable insights for policymakers and social media strategists.
