Figure 5.

Plot of relative risk (RR) by lag at specific temperatures. The relationship between temperature and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) showed a different lag pattern and high temperatures had short-term effects. The higher temperatures (23.97°C and 29.30°C) had the maximum RR for SFTS cases on the current week, which decreased quickly during the following weeks. However, the low temperatures (1.62°C and 6.97°C) had the minimum RR on the current week and had the maximum RR at lag 13 weeks, which decreased slowly during the following weeks.
