Abstract

Abstract

Objective This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatial distribution of scrub typhus in Fujian Province from 2014 to 2020, in order to provide evidence for the development of prevention and control measures. Methods The data on scrub typhus were collected through The China Disease Control and Prevention Information System to explore the spatial-temporal distribution characteristics in Fujian Province from 2014 to 2020. We used WPS 2016, SPSS 20.0, ArcGIS 10.0, and SaTScan 9.5 software for data processing and statistical analysis. Results From 2014 to 2020, 8 595 cases of scrub typhus were reported in Fujian, with an average annual incidence rate of 3.03/100 000. The cases were concentrated from June to October. The cases were mainly concentrated in the age group of 40- < 70 years old, accounting for 73.10%. Most patients were farmers, accounting for 73.30%. The highest incidence rate of scrub typhus was 11.71/100 000 in Nanping. The incidence was 36.71/100 000 in Pinghe, and 31.28/100 000 in Guangze, which were higher than in other counties. Temporal scanning showed that there were 10 clustering areas with the highest incidence, with the most significant cluster centered on Pinghe, encompassing six counties. Conclusions A certain characteristic of spatiotemporal clustering is shown in the scrub typhus incidence in Fujian. It is necessary to strengthen routine monitoring and pathogens detection of scrub typhus in the key populations and areas to reduce the incidence of scrub typhus.
