Current and Future Projection of Scrub Typhus Risk Related to Land Use Change in China The landscape fragmentation index exhibited a nonlinear positive correlation with scrub typhus incidence The impact of landscape fragmentation varied among different years, land use types, and fr...

🌿🦠 Landscape fragmentation strongly shapes scrub typhus risk in China.

🌲 Forest & cropland fragmentation raise risk, especially at urban–nature edges.

🔮 Projections show land-use planning is key to disease prevention.
