Abstract:
Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of rabies in China from 2007 to 2018, and to provide reference information for formulating strategies to eliminate rabies.Methods:The incidence data were obtained from the national notifiable communicable disease reporting information system in China to analyze the spatial, population and time distribution of human rabies cases.Results:From 2007 to 2018, 17 848 cases of human rabies were reported nationwide. 57% of the cases were reported in 6 provinces, including Guangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou, Hunan, Henan and Sichuan. A total of 37 counties reported more than 50 cases. The number of reported cases decreased from 3 300 in 2007 to 422 in 2018, with an average annual decline rate of 7%. The number of districts and counties involved decreased from 984 in 2007 to 308 in 2018. The population aged 35-75 years accounted for 67%, followed by the population aged 0-15 years (17%). Farmers accounted for 70% of the total number of cases, followed by students (11%) and scattered children (6%).Conclusions:China′s human rabies epidemic has changed from a regional epidemic to a multi-regional spread.
