Article Synopsis
- This study explores how climate variability patterns, specifically the El Niño-southern oscillation (ENSO), affect the incidence of bacillary dysentery (BD) in China's Yangtze River Basin from 2005 to 2020.
- Both El Niño and La Niña events were found to raise the risk of BD, with increased regional temperatures and rainfall identified as contributing factors.
- The research highlights the importance of understanding the meteorological pathways influenced by ENSO to improve health responses and develop early warning systems for BD outbreaks.
