Abstract:
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a rodent-borne disease of natural infectious focus caused by Hantavirus (HV) with clinical characteristics as fever, hemorrhage, hyperemia, hypotensive shock and renal damage. Through contacting the excreta or secretion of infected rats, human may get infected. The epidemiological characteristics of HFRS are significantly different in terms of population differences, geographical heterogeneity and seasonal variation, which are all closely related to the habitat of host animals and human productive activities. The reported number of HFRS is about 150 000 to 200 000 each year worldwide, and China accounted for 70 %-90 % of the total reported cases standing the most seriously infected country. In this study, we reviewed the epidemiological characteristics and the influencing factors of HFRS as well as the models and methods used in relevant ecological studies, in order to understand the distribution of time, regional and population and potential influencing factors on the transmission of HFRS better, so as to improve the strategies on investigation, monitoring, prevention and control of the diseases.
