The changing seasonal patterns of reported measles cases in Iceland during this century are analysed. These changes are related to increased population mobility following the development of external and internal transport links, particularly since 1945. The forging of such links has resulted in a shift in the seasonal distribution of cases from one peculiar to the local social and economic conditions in Iceland to one broadly similar to that in other countries of northern temperate latitudes.
分析了本世纪冰岛报告的麻疹病例季节性变化模式。这些变化与外部和内部交通联系发展后人口流动性增加有关,特别是自1945年以来。这种联系的形成导致病例的季节性分布从冰岛当地社会和经济条件特有的模式转变为与北温带其他国家大致相似的模式。
