Arthropod-borne diseases do not occur commonly in Canada. Nevertheless, Canadians run the risk of contracting certain infections within the country during arthropod season, as well as when travelling abroad. Therefore, it is important that clinicians are aware of the possible occurrence of arthropod-borne diseases, and consider them in their differential diagnoses. The present review is divided into two sections: arthropod-borne diseases or disease agents documented in Canada, and imported arthropod-borne diseases. The review also provides brief overviews of these diseases.
节肢动物传播的疾病在加拿大并不常见。然而,加拿大人在国内节肢动物活动季节以及出国旅行时,仍有感染某些疾病的风险。因此,临床医生了解节肢动物传播疾病的可能发生情况,并在鉴别诊断中加以考虑非常重要。本综述分为两个部分:加拿大记录的节肢动物传播疾病或病原体,以及输入性节肢动物传播疾病。本综述还简要概述了这些疾病。
