We analyzed spatiotemporal patterns of 8,756 schistosomiasis-related deaths in Brazil during 2000-2011 and identified high-risk clusters of deaths, mainly in highly schistosomiasis-endemic areas along the coast of Brazil's Northeast Region. Schistosomiasis remains a neglected public health problem with a high number of deaths in disease-endemic and emerging focal areas.
我们分析了2000年至2011年巴西8756例血吸虫病相关死亡的时空模式,并确定了高风险死亡聚集区,主要位于巴西东北部沿海血吸虫病高度流行地区。血吸虫病仍然是一个被忽视的公共卫生问题,在疾病流行地区和新出现的重点地区有大量死亡病例。
