Serological and molecular epidemiological investigation of Mediterranean spotted fever in Yunnan Province, China

CONCLUSIONS: This research reveals a correlation between MSF prevalence, geography, and climate in Yunnan. The paucity of prior studies underscores MSF's potential diagnostic challenges in the region. Comprehensive understanding of the pathogen's distribution is pivotal for intervention. Given the study's scope and Yunnan's unique setting, additional research is advocated.PMID:38262571 | DOI:10.1016/j.meegid.2024.105560
