In recent years, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (Ningxia) in northwest China has emerged as a region with persistently high endemicity of human brucellosis. An in-depth analysis of the epidemic\u2019s prevalence and spatiotemporal evolution in this region is essential to inform the optimization of targeted prevention and control measures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data on all human brucellosis cases from 2010 to 2024 were collected from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention.

The average annual incidence rates was 35.08\/100,000, ranging from 3.31 to 84.80 per 100,000. Two incidence peaks were observed: the first in 2015 (43.66\/100,000) and the second in 2022 (84.80\/100,000). The human brucellosis incidence rates showed that overall increasing trend from 2010 to 2024 (average annual percentage change [AAPC]=18.31%, but this was not statistically significant (t\u2009=\u20091.63,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.102). Male accounted for 71.01% (25 325 cases) of all cases, 2.45 times higher than females (28.99%, 10 340 cases). Cases were reported in all 22 counties of Ningxia. The top five counties with the highest average annual incidence were: Yanchi County (184.79\/100,000), Tongxin County (75.91\/100,000), Zhongning County (46.47\/100,000), Xiji County (46.15\/100,000) and Yuanzhou District (45.30\/100,000), while Xingqing District had the lowest rate (5.60\/100,000). The top five counties with the fastest AAPC were: Huinong District (AAPC\u2009=\u2009140.46%), Qingtongxia City (AAPC\u2009=\u2009127.19%), Pengyang County (AAPC\u2009=\u2009111.19%), Haiyuan County (AAPC\u2009=\u2009107.97%) and Lingwu County (AAPC\u2009=\u2009102.04%). Global spatial autocorrelation analysis revealed spatial clustering of human brucellosis incidence between 2022\u20132024 (Moran\u2019s\n                      <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic>\n                      0.266, p\u2009=\u20090.033; 0.394, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001; 0.353,p\u2009=\u20090.002, respectively). Local spatial autocorrelation identified \u201chigh-high\u201d clusters primarily in Zhongning County, Tongxin County and Lingwu County. Additionally, spatial scanning analysis detected four spatial clusters, including one most likely cluster (LLR\u2009=\u20096474.66, RR\u2009=\u20093.71,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009 (\u20090.001) and three secondary clusters.
