Abstract:

Scrub typhus is an acute febrile vector-borne infectious disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. It is transmitted by the bite of chigger mite larvae. Now scrub typhus is a relatively serious public health issue in the Asia-Pacific region, threatening the health of more than one billion people worldwide. China is one of the countries with relatively serious burden of scrub typhus. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend in the epidemic areas of scrub typhus and the number of infected cases. With the development of "3S" spatial information technologies represented by geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing (RS), and global positioning system (GPS), many scholars have applied these technologies to studies on the spatial epidemic pattern of scrub typhus. This article mainly introduces the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal dynamic trends of scrub typhus domestic and overseas, as well as the natural environmental factors and socioeconomic factors affecting the epidemic of scrub typhus, and focuses on the roles of spatial statistics and GIS technology in the epidemiological study of scrub typhus, so as to provide a reference for the future epidemiological study and the prevention and control of scrub typhus.

Key words: Scrub typhus, Epidemiological characteristics, Spatiotemporal dynamics, Influencing factors

摘要:

恙虫病是由恙虫病东方体引起的一种急性发热性媒介生物传染病,经恙螨幼虫叮咬传播。恙虫病威胁全球超过10亿人的健康,是亚太地区较严重的公共卫生问题。我国是恙虫病负担较严重的国家之一,近年来恙虫病流行区域和感染人数均存在增加趋势。随着以地理信息系统、遥感技术和全球定位系统为代表的“3S”空间信息技术的发展,许多学者也将此技术应用于恙虫病的空间流行规律研究中。该文主要介绍国内外恙虫病流行的流行特征及时空动态趋势,影响恙虫病流行的自然环境因素和社会经济因素。重点介绍空间统计学和地理信息技术在恙虫病流行病学研究中的作用,为进一步开展恙虫病流行病学研究和恙虫病的防治提供参考。
