Meteorological drivers of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in China's Jiaodong Peninsula: an ecological time-series study from 2020 to 2024.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) is a naturally occurring zoonotic disease significantly influenced by meteorological factors, with rodents serving as the primary reservoir. It imposes a substantial global disease burden. This study aims to investigate the non-linear and interactive effects of meteorological factors on HFRS, as well as the exposure-lag-response patterns on the Jiaodong Peninsula in China.

Method

Daily meteorological data for the Jiaodong Peninsula from 2020 to 2024 were collected from the China Meteorological Data Sharing Service System. Daily incidence data for HFRS cases were collected from the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. A generalized additive model with quasi-Poisson regression was conducted to examine
