The recent outbreak of anaplasmosis in a Swiss cattle herd triggered a discussion of the risk of vector-borne diseases in animals and humans in relation to climate changes and other factors. This overview presents the Swiss Tropical Institute's (STI) activities on vector-borne diseases (malaria, trypanosomosis, and leishmaniosis in humans and tick-borne diseases in livestock), describes the possible risks for humans and animals in Switzerland, and discusses options for action in the domains of public health, livestock production and companion animals. Switzerland is increasingly confronted with vector-borne diseases in humans and animals, but this is mainly due to an increase in imported cases. The emergence of a disease in one sector (human or veterinary medicine) may predict future trends in the other. A stronger intersectoral collaboration between public health and veterinary institutions at the federal and cantonal level is needed.
瑞士一群牛近期爆发无形体病，引发了关于气候变化及其他因素对动物和人类媒介传播疾病风险影响的讨论。本综述介绍了瑞士热带研究所（STI）在媒介传播疾病（人类疟疾、锥虫病和利什曼病以及家畜蜱传疾病）方面开展的活动，描述了瑞士人类和动物可能面临的风险，并探讨了在公共卫生、畜牧生产和伴侣动物领域的行动方案。瑞士越来越多地面临人类和动物的媒介传播疾病，但这主要是由于输入性病例增加。一个部门（人类医学或兽医学）出现的疾病可能预示着另一个部门未来的趋势。需要在联邦和州层面的公共卫生与兽医机构之间加强跨部门合作。
