Meningococcal meningitis (MCM) poses a serious threat to public health in Africa. Epidemics appear irregularly every 5-12 years, especially in the regions across sub-Saharan 'meningitis belt'. This study investigated the long-term spatiotemporal dynamics of MCM. It appears that dominant epidemic outbreaks in the meningitis belt spread from west to east over the study period 2006-2016.
流脑（MCM）对非洲的公共卫生构成严重威胁。这种疾病每隔 5-12 年会出现一次不规则的流行，特别是在撒哈拉以南的“脑膜炎带”地区。本研究调查了 MCM 的长期时空动态。在 2006-2016 年的研究期间，似乎脑膜炎带中的主要流行疫情从西向东传播。
