The objective of this study was to describe, visualize, and compare the spatial-temporal distributions of these five RIDs from 2006 to 2016. In addition to descriptive epidemiology analysis, seasonality and spatial autocorrelation analysis were also applied to explore the epidemiologic trends and spatial changing patterns of the five RIDs, respectively. The results indicated that the incidence of tuberculosis, measles, and mumps presented a downtrend trend, while those of scarlet fever and influenza was in a strong uptrend across the research period. The incidences of the five diseases all peaked in spring. There were significant spatial disparities in the distribution of tuberculosis, scarlet fever, and measles cases, with the hotspots mainly located in the western plateau region, northern plain region, and southern mountainous region. To conclude, notable epidemiological differences were observed across regions, indicating that some provincial units should pay more attention to prevent and control respiratory infectious diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17072301","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,31]],"date-time":"2020-03-31T10:29:38Z","timestamp":1585650578000},"page":"2301","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Notifiable Respiratory Infectious Diseases in China: A Spatial\u2013Temporal Epidemiology Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ying","family":"Mao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Policy and Administration, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, 28 Xianning West Road, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"},{"name":"Research Center for the Belt and Road Health Policy and Health Technology Assessment, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, 28 Xianning West Road, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rongxin","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Policy and Administration, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, 28 Xianning West Road, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"},{"name":"Research Center for the Belt and Road Health Policy and Health Technology Assessment, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, 28 Xianning West Road, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0091-6356","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bin","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Policy and Administration, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, 28 Xianning West Road, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"},{"name":"Research Center for the Belt and Road Health Policy and Health Technology Assessment, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, 28 Xianning West Road, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"},{"name":"Department of Public Policy, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong 999077, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7655-8532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinlin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Policy and Administration, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, 28 Xianning West Road, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"},{"name":"Research Center for the Belt and Road Health Policy and Health Technology Assessment, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, 28 Xianning West Road, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"},{"name":"Walter H.
