Based on the number of monthly Shigella cases, an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model successfully established a time series model.

A cluster was detected in southwestern Jiangsu (LLR = 11674.74, P<0.001). The time series model was established as ARIMA (1, 12, 0), which predicted well for cases from August to December, 2011.
