This study analyzes the spatial distribution of scrub typhus in Korea.
A spatial distribution of Orientia tsutsugamushi occurrence using a geographic information system (GIS) is presented, and analyzed by means of spatial clustering and correlations.
The provinces of Gangwon-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do show a low incidence throughout the year. Some districts have almost identical environmental conditions of scrub typhus incidence. The land use change of districts does not directly affect the incidence rate.
GIS analysis shows the spatial characteristics of scrub typhus. This research can be used to construct a spatial-temporal model to understand the epidemic tsutsugamushi.
本研究分析韩国恙虫病的空间分布情况。
利用地理信息系统(GIS)呈现恙虫病东方体出现的空间分布,并通过空间聚类和相关性进行分析。
江原道和庆尚北道全年发病率较低。一些地区恙虫病发病率的环境条件几乎相同。地区土地利用变化不会直接影响发病率。
GIS分析显示了恙虫病的空间特征。本研究可用于构建时空模型以了解恙虫病的流行情况。
