Spatial and temporal distribution of emerging airborne viral infectious diseases outbreaks on a global scale.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study aimed to explore the spatial and temporal characteristics of emerging airborne viral infectious diseases outbreaks worldwide.

Subject and methods

We conducted a systematic literature review on outbreaks of emerging airborne viral infectious diseases and calculated outbreak number and intensity at the country level. Fisher's exact test was used to compare the viral infectious diseases outbreaks in different income-level regions. To identify the major airborne viral infectious diseases outbreaks, we ranked and extracted the leading viral infectious diseases in outbreak number and intensity in each country by year.

Results

A total of 2505 outbreaks were reported from 1873 to 2021 across 2010 studies. There were 47 countries (47/130, 36.15%) with more frequ
