Spatial distribution analyses for scrub typhus in 2006–2017. (A) in twelve years in county level; (B) in 2006; (C) in 2007; (D) in 2008; (E) in 2009; (F) in 2010; (G) in 2011; (H) in 2012; (I) in 2013; (J) in 2014; (K) in 2015; (L) in 2016; (M) in 2017. Figure 4 was created for this manuscript using ArcGIS software (ArcGIS 10.6). Data for scrub typhus cases from 2006 to 2017 were provided by the Yunnan Provincial Notifiable Disease Report System. The limits and borders of Yunnan province and China were constructed using the geographical information from the National Geomatics Center of China (NGCC), and the website of NGCC is http://ngcc.cn/ngcc/. The (A) comprised of 129 counties (municipalities/ districts). Each number corresponds to a county (municipality/ district). We use the capital letter combination of county (municipality/ district) names to represent. 1–11 (Zhaotong): 1 (SJ), 2 (SF), 3 (YJ), 4 (YS), 5 (DG), 6 (YL), 7 (ZX), 8 (WX), 9 (ZY), 10 (LD), 11 (QJ). 12–20 (Qujing): 12 (HZ), 13 (XW), 14 (ZY), 15 (ML), 16 (QL), 17(FY), 18 (LL), 19(SZ), 20 (LP). 21–28 (Wenshan): 21 (QB), 22 (GN), 23 (FN), 24 (YS), 25 (XC), 26 (MLP), 27 (WS), 28 (MG). 29–42 (Kunming): 29 (DC), 30 (XD), 31(LQ), 32 (FM), 33 (SM), 34 (YL), 35 (CG), 36 (JN), 37 (AN), 38 (SL), 39 (WH), 40 (PL), 41 (XS), 42 (GD). 43–51 (Yuxi): 43 (CJ), 44 (JC), 45 (HN), 46 (TH), 47 (HT), 48 (ES), 49 (XP), 50 (YJ) 51(YM). 52–64 (Honghe): 52 (LX), 53 (ML), 54 (JS), 55 (KY), 56 (GJ), 57 (MZ), 58 (SP), 59 (HH), 60 (LC), 61 (YY), 62 (JP), 63 (PB), 64 (HK). 65–74 (Chuxiong): 65 (WD), 66 (YM), 67 (YR), 68 (DY), 69 (YA), 70 (MD), 71 (LF), 72 (CX), 73 (NH), 74 (SB). 75–77 (Diqing): 75 (DQ), 76 (XGLL), 77 (WX). 78–81 (Nujiang): 78 (GS), 79 (FG), 80 (LS), 81 (LP). 82–86 (Lijiang): 82 (NL), 83 (YL), 84 (GC), 85 (YS), 86 (HP). 87–98 (Dali): 87 (HQ), 88 (JC), 89 (EY), 90 (YL), 91(YP), 92 (YB), 93 (DL), 94 (BC), 95 (XY), 96 (MD), 97 (WS), 98 (NJ). 99–103 (Baoshan): 99 (LY), 100 (TC), 101 (SD), 102 (LL), 103 (CN). 104–108 (Dehong): 104 (YJ), 105 (LH), 106 (LC), 107 (RL), 108 (M). 109–116 (Lincang): 109 (FQ), 110 (Y), 111(YD), 112 (ZK), 113 (GM), 114 (CY), 115 (SJ), 116 (LX). 117–126 (Puer): 117 (JG), 118 (JD), 119 (ZY), 120 (MJ), 121 (JC), 122 (NE), 123 (SM), 124 (LC), 125 (XM), 126 (ML). 127–129 (Xishuangbanna): 127 (MH), 128 (JH), 129 (ML).
