The emergence of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in the Himalayan highlands is of significant veterinary and public health concern and may be related to climate warming and anthropogenic landscape change, or simply improved surveillance. To investigate this phenomenon, a One Health approach focusing on the phylogeography of JEV, the distribution and abundance of the mosquito vectors, and seroprevalence in humans and animal reservoirs would be useful to understand the epidemiology of Japanese encephalitis in highland areas.
日本脑炎病毒(JEV)在喜马拉雅高地的出现引起了重大的兽医和公共卫生关注,可能与气候变暖、人为景观变化有关,或者仅仅是监测改善所致。为研究这一现象,采用“同一健康”方法,聚焦JEV的系统地理学、蚊媒的分布与丰度以及人类和动物宿主中的血清流行率,将有助于了解高地地区日本脑炎的流行病学。
