Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics and trends of echinococcosis in Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps from 2014 to 2023, and to provide insights for further prevention and control of echinococcosis. Methods Echinococcosis cases reported in Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2023, were collected from the National Infectious Disease Reporting Information Management System. Descriptive statistical analysis of the data was performed with SPSS 26.0. Chi-square test was used for comparison of rates. Results A total of 697 cases were reported in 13 divisions of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps from 2014 to 2023, with no deaths, and the annual average incidence was 2.32/10⁵. The incidence showed an overall trend of first increasing and then decreasing over the years, peaking in 2017. The reported cases were mainly distributed in the 4th division (186 cases), 8th division (101 cases), and 9th division (67 cases) in Northern Xinjiang, and the 3rd division (56 cases) in Southern Xinjiang, accounting for 58.8% (410/697) of the total reported cases. The reported incidence in the Northern Xinjiang (2.77/10⁵) was higher than that in the southern Xinjiang (1.21/10⁵) (χ² = 66.353, P < 0.01). There were 368 male and 329 female reported cases. The average annual incidence was 2.34/10⁵ for males and 2.29/10⁵ for females, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ² = 0.097, P > 0.05). The mean age of the reported cases was 42.6 years (range 2 to 97 years), with the highest proportion at ages of 40-< 50 years (23.2%, 162/697), followed by 50-< 60 years (22.2%, 155/697), and the incidence among different age groups was statistically significant (χ² = 168.952, P < 0.001). The largest occupational group was farmers (31.1%, 217/697), followed by retirees (15.1%, 105/697). Conclusion The reported prevalence of echinococcosis in Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps showed an overall downward trend from 2014 to 2023; however, a risk of transmission persists.
