Motivation for the study. Vector-borne diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever require constant monitoring of their spatial and temporal distribution patterns due to current climate change and atypical conditions. Main findings. Rocky Mountain spotted fever occurs in Sinaloa throughout the year, with endemic peaks during March, May, and July. In the municipality of Badiraguato, a relative risk of 6.89 was determined. Implications for public health. The results of this study show that there are municipalities in the state of Sinaloa with a higher risk of contracting Rocky Mountain spotted fever, so the Sinaloa Ministry of Health could implement prevention and health education programs to reduce the risk in these municipalities.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a disease caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, whose vector and natural reservoir is the tick. However, dogs play an important role in the transmission of this disease. This study aimed to determine the spatial and temporal behavior of RMSF in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Information was obtained from the RMSF cases reported during the period 2015-2023, and the temporal and spatial behavior was determined using an endemic channel and the SCAN statistic. The highest RMSF prevalence rate was determined in Escuinapa with 9.6 cases per 10,000 inhabitants. Regarding temporal behavior, three endemic peaks were detected in March, May, and July, and three RMSF clusters were identified, with the main cluster located in the municipality of Ahome with a relative risk of 4.9.

研究动机。由于当前的气候变化和非典型情况，诸如落基山斑疹热等媒介传播疾病需要持续监测其时空分布模式。主要发现。锡那罗亚州全年都有落基山斑疹热发生，在3月、5月和7月出现地方病高峰。在巴迪拉瓜托市，确定相对风险为6.89。对公共卫生的影响。本研究结果表明，锡那罗亚州有些市感染落基山斑疹热的风险较高，因此锡那罗亚州卫生部可实施预防和健康教育计划，以降低这些市的风险。
落基山斑疹热（RMSF）是由立氏立克次体引起的一种疾病，其传播媒介和自然宿主是蜱虫。然而，狗在这种疾病的传播中起着重要作用。本研究旨在确定墨西哥锡那罗亚州落基山斑疹热的时空行为。从2015年至2023年期间报告的落基山斑疹热病例中获取信息，并使用地方病传播途径和扫描统计量确定时空行为。在埃斯奎纳帕确定的落基山斑疹热患病率最高，每10000名居民中有9.6例。关于时间行为，在3月、5月和7月检测到三个地方病高峰，并确定了三个落基山斑疹热聚集区，主要聚集区位于阿霍梅市，相对风险为4.9。
