Over the past decades, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) has become a growing public health concern in Europe and Asia and is the most important viral tick-borne disease in Europe. It is also important in the Far East and in other parts of Asia. Vaccination can effectively prevent TBE. It is indicated for persons inhabiting or visiting a TBE endemic area who are likely to be exposed to tick bites. For this purpose, it is necessary to know where TBE virus (TBEV) occurs, where vectors are a potential hazard, and where as a consequence autochthonous TBE cases have been registered. Natural changes in the known TBE foci and the detection of new foci necessitate a summarizing data update to optimize the protection of inhabitants and visitors to TBE endemic areas. The present review includes an overview of the epidemiological data on TBE in Europe and Asia gathered between 1990 and 2009 and describes old and especially new TBE risk areas in Europe and Asia.
在过去几十年中,蜱传脑炎(TBE)已成为欧洲和亚洲日益严重的公共卫生问题,是欧洲最重要的病毒性蜱传疾病。它在远东和亚洲其他地区也很重要。疫苗接种可以有效预防 TBE。它适用于居住或访问 TBE 流行地区且可能接触蜱叮咬的人。为此,有必要了解 TBE 病毒(TBEV)的发生地、媒介的潜在危险地以及由此导致的本地 TBE 病例登记地。已知 TBE 热点的自然变化和新热点的发现需要对数据进行总结更新,以优化对 TBE 流行地区居民和游客的保护。本综述包括对 1990 年至 2009 年间在欧洲和亚洲收集的 TBE 流行病学数据的概述,并描述了欧洲和亚洲的旧和特别是新的 TBE 风险地区。
