Public health implications of Yersinia enterocolitica investigation: an ecological modeling and molecular epidemiology study

ConclusionsThe data indicated geographical variations in the distribution of STs and CTs ofY. enterocolitica isolates in Ningxia. Our work offered the first evidence that the pathogenicity of isolates was directly related to fluctuations in temperature and precipitation of the environment. CgMLST typing strategies showed that the isolates were transmitted to the population via pigs and food. Therefore, strengthening health surveillance on pig farms in high-risk areas and focusing on testing food of pig origin are optional strategies to prevent disease outbreaks.
