“…To our knowledge, this is the first work to directly investigate the oscillatory properties of the nine class C infectious diseases together in mainland China. Previous studies mostly targeted one specific disease [Influenza (55), Mumps (56)(57)(58)(59)(60), Rubella (61)(62)(63), AHC (64)(65)(66)(67)(68), Leprosy (69-72), Typhus (73)(74)(75)(76), Leishmaniasis (77,78), Hydatid disease (79-81), HFMD (82)(83)(84)(85)(86)], more in a statistical description sense on the numbers, ratios, or dissecting multiple components to fit the data. These studies seldom investigated these diseases directly from the oscillatory view, but we focused more on the ubiquitous oscillatory property of these class C diseases together to find some common laws as a whole.…”
