Interactions between brucellosis and environmental factors: spatiotemporal epidemiology from Xinjiang, China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Brucella is a highly adaptive pathogen, capable of withstanding environmental stress, adapting to multiple hosts, and transmitting through animal-environment interactions.This study investigates the potential impact of environmental factors on the incidence of brucellosis, aiming to identify spatiotemporal patterns between transmission sources and the environment.

Methods

We performed a comprehensive spatiotemporal analysis of brucellosis incidence in Xinjiang (2015-2023) by integrating satellite-derived environmental data, including temperature, vapor pressure deficit (VPD), NDVI, precipitation, and grazing intensity. Our study examined seasonal and regional transmission patterns, assessed lagged cumulative effects of environmental exposures, and and employed rid
