Spatiotemporal Analysis of the Primary Factors and Risk Quantification of Human Brucellosis Prevention and Control in Zhejiang Province of China.
Article in Zoonoses and public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionBrucellosis is a major zoonotic disease that poses significant public health and socio-economic threats. In China, human brucellosis incidence has continued to rise, including in highly developed regions such as Zhejiang Province, despite relatively low levels of livestock husbandry. This study investigates the recent surge in human brucellosis in Zhejiang, aiming to identify key risk factors and inform prevention strategies.
methodsWe collected case data from 11 municipal divisions of Zhejiang Province (2018-2023). To overcome limitations of conventional clustering methods, we applied Bayesian spatiotemporal models, global autocorrelation analysis, variance inflation factor analysis and Spearman correlation analysis. Sheep and cattle production, socio-economic metrics and climatic variables were incorporated to examine disease distribution, quantify risk factors and identify high-risk areas.
resultsHuman brucellosis showed marked regional variation and spatiotemporal clustering. Elevated risks were observed in Huzhou, Jiaxing, Quzhou and Lishui, while Zhoushan, Ningbo, Taizhou, Wenzhou and Hangzhou displayed lower risks. Live sheep imports and slaughter volumes were the dominant factors, positively correlated with incidence (RR = 1.1816, 95% CI: 1.0096-1.3880; RR = 1.6175, 95% CI: 1.1883-2.3546). These findings underscore the importance of livestock trade and slaughter practices in shaping transmission dynamics.
conclusionsTargeted prevention strategies are urgently needed in developed regions such as Zhejiang. We recommend strengthening the brucellosis prevention framework, enhancing regulatory oversight of live sheep transport and slaughter in high-risk areas and leveraging modern information technologies (e.g., AI and big data) for surveillance and decision support. This study advances the theoretical and practical framework for brucellosis prevention and offers insights for both regional and national disease control, contributing to public health protection and sustainable livestock development.
