Imported infectious diseases are becoming a serious public health threat in China. However, limited information concerning the epidemiologic characteristics of imported infectious diseases is available. In this study, we collected data related to imported infectious diseases in mainland China from the National Information Reporting System of Infectious Diseases and analyzed demographic, temporal, and spatial distributions. The number of types of imported infectious diseases reported increased from 2 in 2005 to 11 in 2016. A total of 31,740 cases of infectious disease were imported to mainland China during 2005-2016; most of them were found in Yunnan Province. The cases were imported mainly from Africa and Asia. As a key and effective measure, pretravel education should be strengthened for all migrant workers and tourists in China, and border screening, cross-border international cooperation, and early warning should be further improved.
输入性传染病已成为中国严重的公共卫生威胁。然而,有关输入性传染病的流行病学特征的信息有限。本研究通过国家传染病信息报告系统收集中国大陆输入性传染病相关数据,并对其人口统计学、时间和空间分布进行分析。报告的输入性传染病种类从 2005 年的 2 种增加到 2016 年的 11 种。2005-2016 年,中国大陆共报告 31740 例输入性传染病病例;其中大部分发生在云南省。病例主要来自非洲和亚洲。作为一项关键和有效的措施,应该加强对中国所有农民工和游客的旅行前教育,并进一步加强边境筛查、跨境国际合作和预警。
