To systematically analyze the spatial and temporal evolution patterns of five Category B respiratory infectious diseases (pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), scarlet fever, measles, meningococcal meningitis (MM) and pertussis) in China (2004-2020) to guide regional prevention strategies.
Based on the National Notifiable Disease Reporting System (NNDRS) data, we integrated spatial autocorrelation analysis, center of gravity migration model and standard deviation ellipse method for multi-dimensional spatio-temporal modelling to reveal the migration paths and clustering characteristics of the morbidity hotspots.
The incidence rates of PTB and MM continued to decline, which measles showed a fluctuating decline. scarlet fever and pertussis rose significantly after 2016, with a tendency to make a comeback. The high-high clustering areas of PTB and measles migrated to the northwest. Scarlet fever showed a northward return, with the high-high clustering stable and locked in Inner Mongolia after 2018 (Moran I=0.354, P<0.01). Pertussis hotspot area shifted southward, and the high-high clustering area focused on Xiang-qian junction in 2020. The incidence of MM continued to be low and spatial aggregation disappeared.
These diseases exhibit westward migration and northward return, necessitating targeted control systems in northwestern China, optimized mobile population monitoring and vaccine persistence strategies.
