Abstract

Alveolar echinococcosis is a rare disease caused by the parasite Echinococcus multilocularis. The newly established national database should enable us to determine high-risk areas and evaluate the endemic levels. The national database was implemented using SQL Workbench. We used EpiInfo™ software to display the prevalence of disease. Moran's I geodata analysis according to cluster and high risk areas was performed with GeoDa™. SAS Version 9.2 was used for the statistical analysis of the cases (n = 523). The analysis showed a concentration of cases in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. Moran's I showed a heterogeneous case distribution throughout Germany (I = 0.208815, Z = 32.6175, p < 0.001). In the period from 1992 to 2016, the prevalence was 0.64/100,000 inhabitants in the whole of Germany, 2.18/100,000 inhabitants in Baden-Württemberg and 1.48/100,000 inhabitants in Bavaria. The analysis also revealed a difference between men and women, with a prevalence of 0.58/100,000 and 0.69/100,000, respectively. The analysis of spatial autocorrelation and possible risk areas showed that the southeast regions of Baden-Württemberg (I = 0.188514, Z = 11.3197, p < 0.001) and the southwest part of Bavaria (I = 0.176953, Z = 13.5144, p < 0.001) ...Continue Reading
