Clusters of Toxoplasmosis in Ganghwa-gun, Cheorwon-gun, and Goseong-gun, Korea.
We find out the clusters with high toxoplasmosis risk to discuss the geographical pattern in Gyodong-myeon and Samsan-myeon of Ganghwa-gun, Cheorwon-gun, and Goseong-gun, Korea. Seroepidemiological data of toxoplasmosis surveyed using rapid diagnostic tests for the residents in the areas in 2019 were analyzed to detect clusters of the infection. The cluster was investigated using the SaTScan program which is based on Kulldorff's scan statistic. The clusters were found with P-values in each region analyzed in the program, and the risk and patient incidence of specific areas can be examined by the values such as relative risk and log likelihood ratio. Jiseok-ri and Insa-ri were found to be a cluster in Gyodong-myeon and Seokmo-ri was the cluster in Samsan-myeon. Yangji-ri and Igil-ri were found to be a cluster in Cheorwon-gun and Madal-ri and Baebong-ri were the cluster in Goseong-gun. This findings can be used to monitor and prevent toxoplasmosis infections occurring in vulnerable areas.
期刊介绍:
The Korean Journal of Parasitology is the official journal paperless, on-line publication after Vol. 53, 2015 of The Korean Society for Parasitology and Tropical Medicine. Abbreviated title is ‘Korean J Parasitol’. It was launched in 1963. It contains original articles, case reports, brief communications, reviews or mini-reviews, book reviews, and letters to the editor on parasites of humans and animals, vectors, host-parasite relationships, zoonoses, and tropical medicine. It is published bimonthly in February, April, June, August, October, and December each year. Supplement numbers are at times published. All of the manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
