Abstract: Objective To reflect the spatial distribution of brucellosis among 7 counties in Qinghai Province from 2011 to 2013 with Geographic Information System (GIS) map.Method Epidemiological situations were overlay analyzed in infectious rate and prevalence rate with QHEndemic-GIS and SPSS 17.0 by statistics and mapping.Results Brucellosis was detected in 7 counties through the spatial distribution map.The infectious rate and prevalence rate of brucellosis were showing a phenomenon of high and low alternation in 3 years;meanwhile the prevalence in Gonghe County showed an obviously upward trend with the rates of 0.50％ (1/201),1.50％ (3/200),and 3.73％ (9/241),respectively.Conclusions GIS could reflect the state of brucellosis infection directly and correctly.Prevalence of brucellosis in the 7 counties has showed a sporadic phenomenon,and the prevalence of brucellosis has covered a wide region and many populations are at risk of this disease.The prevalence has showed an up-ward trend in these regions,which provides a scientific basis for prevention and control of brucellosis in these key regions.
