Analysis of the Spatiotemporal Distribution and Evolutionary Trends of Scrub Typhus in Jiangsu Province from 2006 to 2023
The incidence of ST in Jiangsu Province exhibited a significant upward trend, with distinct seasonal peaks between October and November. The epidemic demonstrated a pronounced transmission along the north-south axis, spatial-temporal clustering, and a shifting center of gravity. It is recommended to strengthen surveillance in high-risk areas and implement targeted prevention and control measures during high-risk seasons, particularly for vulnerable populations, to effectively curb the spread of the epidemic.
