Association between greenspace morphology and dengue fever in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the contribution of greenspace to dengue transmission has been reported, the complex role of greenspace morphology remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the relationship between greenspace morphology and dengue in China and to explore the interaction with urbanization and built environment characteristics.

Methods

Dengue data at the township level were collected from five provinces in southern China during 2017-2020. Metrics of greenspace morphology, including percentage, mean area, fragmentation, shape, aggregation, and connectedness, were calculated to quantify its structural characteristics. A negative binomial regression model combined with principal component analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between greenspace morphology and dengu
