Background: Temperature and precipitation have previously been associated with infections. The association between salmonellosis and precipitation might be explained by antecedent drought conditions; however, few studies have explored this effect.
Methods: Using an ecological study design with public health surveillance, meteorological (total precipitation [inches], temperature [average °F], Palmer Drought Severity Index [PDSI, category]), and livestock data we explored the association between precipitation and infections reported in 127/141 counties from 2009 to 2021 in the Southwest, US and determined how this association was modified by antecedent drought.
Background: Weather variability is associated with enteric infections in people through a complex interaction of human, animal, and environmental factors. Although infections have been previously associated with precipitation and temperature, the association between precipitation and drought on campylobacteriosis has not been studied.
Objective: Using data from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and counties in Utah, this ecological study aimed to assess the association between precipitation and the incidence of campylobacteriosis by county from 2009 to 2021 and to determine how this association is modified by prior drought level and animal operations.
