We compared travel histories of case-patients with Cryptococcus gattii infection during 1999-2006 to travel destinations of the general public on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Findings validated and refined estimates of risk on the basis of place of residence and showed no spatial progression of risk areas on this island over time.
我们比较了1999年至2006年期间感染加氏隐球菌的病例患者的旅行史与加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华岛普通公众的旅行目的地。研究结果验证并完善了基于居住地的风险估计,且表明该岛上风险区域未随时间出现空间上的扩展。
