ANALYSIS OF THE SPATIOTEMPORAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HEMORRHAGIC FEVER WITH RENAL SYNDROME IN HUBEI PROVINCE, CHINA
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome(HFRS) is a worldwide fulminant infectious disease. Since the first HFRS cases in Hubei Province were reported in 1957, the disease has spread across the province and Hubei has become one of seriously affected areas in China.

| Summary: | Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome(HFRS) is a worldwide fulminant infectious disease. Since the first HFRS cases in Hubei
Province were reported in 1957, the disease has spread across the province and Hubei has become one of seriously affected areas in
China. However, the epidemic characteristics of HFRS are still not entirely clear. Therefore, a systematic investigation of spatial and
temporal distribution pattern of HFRS system is needed. In order to facilitate better prevention and control of HFRS in Hubei
Province, in this paper, a GIS spatiotemporal analysis and modeling tool was developed to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of
the HFRS epidemic, as well as providinga comprehensive examination the dynamic pattern of HFRS in Hubei over the past 30 years
(1980-2009), to determine spatiotemporal change trends and the causes of HFRS. This paper describes the experiments and their
results. |
