Abstract

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a rodent-borne disease that has threatened Chinese residents for nearly a century. Although comprehensive prevent and control measures were taken, the HFRS epidemic in China presents a rebounding trend in some areas. Urbanization is considered as an important influencing factor for the HFRS epidemic in recent years; however, the relevant research has not been systematically summarized. This review aims to summarize urbanization-related environmental factors and the HFRS epidemic in China and provide an overview of research perspectives. The literature review was conducted following the PRISMA protocol. Journal articles on the HFRS epidemic in both English and Chinese published before 30 June 2022 were identified from PubMed, Web of Science, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Inclusion criteria were defined as studies providing information on urbanization-related environmental factors and the HFRS epidemic. A total of 38 studies were included in the review. Changes brought by urbanization on population, economic development, land use, and vaccination program were found to be significantly correlated with the HFRS epidemic. By changing the ecological niche of humans—affecting the rodent population, its virus-carrying rate, and the contact opportunity and susceptibility of populations—urbanization poses a biphasic effect on the HFRS epidemic. Future studies require systematic research framework, comprehensive data sources, and effective methods and models.
