Researchers have hypothesized that mosquitoes are vectors involved in Mycobacterium ulcerans transmission. Previous findings of a correlation between incidence of M. ulcerans, which causes Buruli ulcer, and locally acquired vectorborne diseases in southeastern Australia further strengthened this argument. However, our updated data indicate that this correlation has not continued beyond 2008.

2000 年至 2020 年澳大利亚东南部布鲁里溃疡发病率与病媒传播疾病的相关性

研究人员假设蚊子是参与溃疡分枝杆菌传播的载体。先前关于导致布鲁里溃疡的溃疡分枝杆菌的发病率与澳大利亚东南部当地获得的媒介传播疾病之间相关性的发现进一步加强了这一论点。然而，我们更新的数据表明，这种相关性在 2008 年之后并未持续。
