This study aimed to analyze the occurrence process of human-to-human transmission clusters and provide evidence for effective implementation of interventions.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec019\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Data about SFTS human-to-human transmission clusters were extracted from 42 published articles. R 4.4.1 and Microsoft Excel software were used to process and analyze the epidemiological and clinical data extracted.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec020\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>37 clusters occurring from 1996 to 2023 were retrieved, of which 2 (5.41%) involved third-generation transmission, 7 (18.92%) involved 16 asymptomatic infections, and 9 (24.32%) involved 17 medical personnel. There were 37 index cases with a case fatality rate of 97.30%, 135 secondary cases with a case fatality rate of 12.40%, and an overall of 31.33%. The first treatment of the index case was mainly in primary medical institutions (24, 64.86%) and the most common symptoms were fever, fatigue and gastrointestinal symptoms. The index cases were distributed from March to October each year, the peak was from April to July, and the incubation period was 5\u201321 days, mostly in middle-aged and elderly farmers. Clusters were mainly distributed in Jiangsu Province (9 clusters), followed by Henan, Shandong and Zhejiang Provinces (6 clusters each). The clusters occurred mostly in the progress of care (72.97%), funeral (64.86%) and treatment of patients (24.32%), involving relatives (75.76%), medical workers (12.12%), villagers (9.85%) and morticians (2.27%).
