ABSTRACT
The objective of this paper is to investigate differences in campylobacteriosis incidence between urban and rural areas in the Southern District Health Board of New Zealand between 2000 and 2015. The data were analysed using a Bayesian change-point model to evaluate how campylobacteriosis incidence changed over time and to see whether the dynamics differed between rural and urban areas. A conditional auto regressive error term was introduced to account for any spatial effects. The results of our analysis showed that campylobacteriosis incidence increased between 2000 and 2005, decreased between 2006 and 2008 then stabilised from 2009 onward. In addition we found that the changes in incidence were greater in urban areas than in rural ones.
