What Is Already Known About This Topic?:
Coastal areas of China have a higher reported incidence of other infectious diarrheal diseases (OIDD; excluding cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and paratyphoid) than inland areas of China.
What Is Added By This Report?:
The incidence of OIDD in high latitude coastal provincial-level administrative divisions (PLADs) near Bohai Sea was positively correlated with sea surface temperatures (SSTs), while in coastal PLADs near the South China Sea was negatively correlated.
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?:
The marine environmental risk factors acquired by remote sensing provide a new way for diseases surveillance and early warning. SSTs can be employed as predictor of OIDD in some coastal areas in China.
