Climatic Factors

Temperature had an inverse relationship with seasonal scabies activity. Cooler months had higher scabies burden, while warmer months had lower burden. Mean temperature was significantly negatively correlated with the seasonal component of attack rate. Mean temperature was significantly negatively correlated with the seasonal component of scabies cases. Humidity and rainfall were not significantly associated with seasonal scabies cases or attack rate. Climate variables did not significantly correlate with overall scabies case counts or overall attack rate.
