摘      要：Introduction:In recent years,the incidence of measles in China has consistently remained below 1 per 100,000 population,yet the disease has not been *** study aims to comprehensively analyze the epidemiological characteristics of measles from 2005 to 2022,identify high-risk populations and areas,and propose targeted ***:We utilized data from the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System for our comprehensive *** autocorrelation was employed to examine the spatial clustering of measles,while spatiotemporal scanning analysis was used to detect spatiotemporal clustering to describe measles epidemiology during the study ***:Between 2005 and 2022,732,218 measles cases were reported in ***,the incidence of measles exhibited a downward trend,particularly during the periods of 2008-2011 and *** 2022,the incidence rate reached its historical low at 0.039 per 100,000 *** predominantly affects young *** 2017,global spatial clustering has diminished,although hotspot areas persist in the western ***-temporal scanning identified a high-incidence cluster from 2005 to 2008,comprising 15 provinces in the western,central,and northern regions of ***,from 2016 to 2022,a low-incidence cluster was detected in the southern and central ***:China has made significant progress in measles prevention and *** recent low incidence and absence of substantial spatiotemporal clustering indicate that China is nearing measles ***,there is a continuing need to enhance prevention and control efforts among very young children and in historic incidence hotspots in western ***,improving the diagnosis of vaccine-associated rash illnesses is essential.
