Epidemiological characteristics of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome and its relationship with meteorological factors in Liaoning Province, China

Abstract: Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), one kind of tick-borne acute infectious disease, is caused by a novel bunyavirus. The relationship between meteorological factors and infectious diseases is a hot topic of current research. Liaoning Province has reported a high incidence of SFTS in recent years. However, the epidemiological characteristics of SFTS and its relationship with meteorological factors in the province remain largely unexplored. … Show more

“…From 2010 to 2021, the number of SFTS cases in Shandong Province showed a continuous upward trend. This upward trend is consistent with those in Zhejiang and Liaoning Provinces in China [ 34 , 35 ]. The most likely reason for this is that the monitoring, reporting and diagnostic capabilities of SFTS continue to improve as research on SFTS progresses [ 36 , 37 ].…”

“…Liu et al applied Poisson regression analysis and found that the spatial distribution of SFTS in Xinyang city was significantly correlated with the cover of forests, shrubs, and farmland [ 45 ]. Based on a generalized linear model, Wang et al demonstrated that temperature, air pressure and wind speed were associated with the incidence of SFTS in Liaoning Province [ 35 ].…”

“…The reason may be that age is one of the matching factors in the 1:2 matched case-control study, which leads to similar age distribution between the 2 groups. However, most SFTS cases in our study occurred in individuals aged more than 60 years (68.34%), which was consisted with the epidemiological characteristic of many regions [ 7 , 20 , 24 ].…”

“…Our study showed a negative correlation between average tick abundance and daily air pressure (R 2 = 0.087, P < 0.001). One previous investigation found that the cases of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome, one tick-borne disease, negatively correlated to the monthly average air pressure [40], which indicated the negative effect of air pressure to the tick activity.…”
