Q fever is the most frequently notified zoonotic infection in NSW residents. The past decade has seen the introduction of a targeted national Q fever vaccination program.
We undertook a descriptive analysis of Q fever notifications in NSW, for the period 2001-2010.
A total of 1912 cases of Q fever were notified in NSW between 2001 and 2010 (average 2.8 per 100 000 persons per annum). The majority of Q fever cases were reported in men, aged 40-59 years, living in rural NSW and working in agricultural related occupations.
The results suggest changes in the epidemiology of Q fever in response to the targeted vaccination program.
Q热是新南威尔士州居民中报告最多的人畜共患感染病。在过去十年中,实施了一项有针对性的全国Q热疫苗接种计划。
我们对2001年至2010年新南威尔士州Q热报告病例进行了描述性分析。
2001年至2010年期间,新南威尔士州共报告了1912例Q热病例(平均每年每10万人中有2.8例)。大多数Q热病例报告为居住在新南威尔士州农村、从事农业相关职业的40至59岁男性。
结果表明,Q热的流行病学因有针对性的疫苗接种计划而发生了变化。
