Prevailing wind patterns associated with
KD cases in Japan track back to northeastern China, which is the country's main cereal grain - growing region.
Noting that the timing of KD outbreaks in Japan coincides with certain wind patterns from Asia, climate scientist Xavier Rodó, PhD, and colleagues at the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies and the Catalan Institute of Climate Sciences, both in Barcelona, used computer models to simulate air currents and airborne particle transport for all days since 1977 with high numbers of
KD cases in Japan, based on data compiled by Yoshikazu Nakamura, MD, and colleagues at Jichi Medical University in Japan.
The modeling indicated that
KD cases in many Japanese locations, both in and out of epidemic years, peaked only when winds originated from a densely - cultivated region in northeastern China characterized by vast cereal croplands.
