Non-negligible impacts of urbanization on spatiotemporal variations of infectious disease: a case study of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome epidemics in China
In summary, while climatic and vegetation factors remain the primary drivers of the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of HFRS epidemics in China, urbanization also exerts non-negligible influence on city-level incidence. This research offers valuable insights for public health authorities to strengthen their intervention capabilities against this disease.
