Epidemiological Characteristics and Spatiotemporal Clustering Analysis of Human Rabies — China, 2005–2024
Our findings demonstrate that China's rabies control efforts have successfully transitioned the epidemic from widespread endemic transmission to sporadic occurrence with localized clustering. The 2024 resurgence occurred predominantly in historically endemic hotspots identified through spatial analysis. Sustaining these control achievements will require implementing precision prevention strategies specifically targeted at these persistent high-risk counties.
