Spatiotemporal distribution and control of echinococcosis in Xinjiang, 2005–2023
Echinococcosis in Xinjiang exhibited marked spatiotemporal heterogeneity during 2005-2023. While national and regional prevention programs contributed to reducing incidence after 2017, the burden remains substantial. These findings underscore the need for sustained and regionally coordinated prevention and control strategies to prevent potential resurgence.
