# Data on: Projecting spatiotemporal dynamics of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in the mainland of China [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.vdncjsz1z](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.vdncjsz1z) This dataset is the data used in the paper of Global change biology entitled "Projecting spatiotemporal dynamics of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in the mainland of China". We use an integrated multi-model, multi-scenario framework to assess the impact of global climate change on SFTS disease in the mainland of China. ## Description of the data and file structure The predicted annual incidence of national SFTS cases with or without human population reduction under four RCPs under different climate change scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0, and RCP8.5) in the 2030s, 2050s, and 2080s. The value represents the annual incidence, and the unit is 105/year. The Dataset-1 file includes the predicted annual incidence of national SFTS cases with a fixed future human population under different climate change scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0, and RCP8.5) in the 2030s, 2050s, and 2080s. The Dataset-2 file includes the predicted annual incidence of national SFTS cases in the 2030s, 2050s, and 2080s with human population reduction (SSP2) under four RCPs. ## Sharing/Access information Data was derived from the following sources: * https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16969

This dataset is the data used in the paper of Global change biology entitled "Projecting spatiotemporal dynamics of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in the mainland of China". We use an integrated multi-model, multi-scenario framework to assess the impact of global climate change on SFTS disease in the mainland of China. The SFTS incidence in three time periods (2030-2039, 2050-2059, 2080-2089) is predicted to be increased as compared to the 2010s in the context of various RCPs. The projected spatiotemporal dynamics of SFTS will be heterogeneous across provinces. Notably, we predict possible outbreaks in Xinjiang and Yunnan in the future, where only sporadic cases have been reported previously. These findings highlight the need for population awareness of SFTS in endemic regions, and enhanced monitoring in potential risk areas.
