Increased tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) cases have been reported in central Europe. To investigate temporal trends in the altitude at which TBE cases occur in Slovakia, we analyzed the number of TBE cases during 1961-2004. Since 1980, TBE cases moved from lowlands to submountainous areas, most likely because of rising temperature.
在中欧,报告的蜱传脑炎(TBE)病例有所增加。为了研究斯洛伐克 TBE 病例发生的海拔高度的时间趋势,我们分析了 1961-2004 年期间 TBE 病例的数量。自 1980 年以来,TBE 病例从低地转移到了次山区,这很可能是由于气温上升所致。
