Spatial distribution analysis of scrub typhus in Korea.
[scrub typhus]
This
study
analyzes
the
spatial
distribution
of
scrub
typhus
in
Korea
.
A
spatial
distribution
of
Orientia
tsutsugamushi
occurrence
using
a
geographic
information
system
(
GIS
)
is
presented
,
and
analyzed
by
means
of
spatial
clustering
and
correlations
.
The
provinces
of
Gangwon-
do
and
Gyeongsangbuk-
do
show
a
low
incidence
throughout
the
year
.
Some
districts
have
almost
identical
environmental
conditions
of
scrub
typhus
incidence
.
The
land
use
change
of
districts
does
not
directly
affect
the
incidence
rate
.
GIS
analysis
shows
the
spatial
characteristics
of
scrub
typhus
.
This
research
can
be
used
to
construct
a
spatial-
temporal
model
to
understand
the
epidemic
tsutsugamushi
.
