Environmental and demographic factors jointly influence SFTS transmission, emphasizing the need for region-specific surveillance and intervention strategies.
Environmental and demographic factors jointly influence SFTS transmission in Shandong, with higher maximum temperature promoting its spread, whereas higher population density and stronger wind speed exert inhibitory effects. These findings emphasize the necessity of developing region-specific surveillance and intervention strategies that account for local environmental conditions and transmission patterns to effectively mitigate disease risk.
