Prevalence and spatial distribution characteristics of human brucellosis in Ningxia from 2010 to 2024
Our findings reveal a substantial burden of human brucellosis in Ningxia. The disease exhibits distinct seasonality, peaking in summer and autumn. Priority interventions should include: (1) Enhanced health education and targeted behavioral interventions for middle-aged and elderly males to improve personal awareness and competency in prevention and control; and (2) Timely identification of key risk factors and implementation of tailored prevention strategies in regions experiencing either a rapid increase or persistently high incidence.
