Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to reveal a spatial variability in the death risk of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Japan. In addition, spatial and temporal variabilities in the reproduction number and the death risk of Ebola virus disease in Democratic Republic of the Congo (2019), modified measles in Japan (2018) and COVID-19 (2020) were also examined during the study period.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
RSウイルス感染症の死亡リスク等についての空間的異質性の存在の他、その他の新興・再興感染症(新型コロナウイルス感染症、エボラ出血熱、麻しん)についても、時空間的異質性にも焦点を当てて、その死亡リスク・感染力等について、本研究を通じて、明らかにしている。これらの指標は、公衆衛生的・医学的介入を実施する際に、適切な介入方法・介入タイミング・期間等を選択する重要な根拠となり、被害規模の減少につながる。
