Global Infectious Diseases between January and March 2024: Periodic Analysis

Abstract

In recent years, humanity has faced formidable challenges posed by infectious diseases. For example, previously controlled infectious diseases have undergone resurgences, while ongoing pathogen mutations have given rise to drug-resistant strains. These developments, coupled with changes in natural and societal factors, have contributed to the emergence of new infectious diseases. Spring is a season prone to infectious diseases, with common examples including influenza, measles, smallpox, and dengue fever. These diseases are primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets, airborne transmission, and close contact. To gain insight into the global distribution of infectious diseases we analyzed data from the Global Epidemic Information Monitoring System, which was developed by Shusi Technology, from January to March 2024.
