Ticks Tick Borne Dis. 2018 Feb;9(2):146-150. doi: 10.1016/j.ttbdis.2017.08.009. Epub 2017 Aug 30.
The 19th meeting of the International Scientific Working Group on Tick-Borne Encephalitis (ISW-TBE) - a group of neurologists, general practitioners, clinicians, travel physicians, virologists, pediatricians and epidemiologists-was held under the title "TBE in a changing world". Key topics within virology, current epidemiological developments and investigations, expansion of risk areas, clinical aspects and cases, traveling and mobility, vaccination rates, and latest news on vaccination were presented and extensively discussed. Over the past four decades, TBE has become a growing public health challenge in Europe and parts of Asia. It may be considered a complex eco-epidemiological system, characterized by an intricate interplay between the virus, ticks and tick hosts on the one hand and human exposure strongly influenced by socioeconomic conditions on the other hand. Although the facts are simple - vaccination is the best prevention - the socioeconomic conditions keep changing, and with them the ability or willingness of people to get vaccinated.
第 19 届国际蜱传脑炎科学工作组会议（ISW-TBE）——由神经病学家、全科医生、临床医生、旅行医生、病毒学家、儿科医生和流行病学家组成的一个小组——举行了题为“不断变化的世界中的 TBE”的会议。会议介绍并广泛讨论了病毒学、当前流行病学发展和调查、风险区域扩大、临床方面和病例、旅行和流动、疫苗接种率以及最新疫苗接种方面的关键议题。在过去的四十年中，TBE 已成为欧洲和亚洲部分地区日益严重的公共卫生挑战。它可以被认为是一个复杂的生态流行病学系统，其特点是病毒、蜱和蜱宿主之间的复杂相互作用，以及受社会经济条件强烈影响的人类暴露。尽管事实很简单——接种疫苗是最好的预防措施——但社会经济条件不断变化，人们接种疫苗的能力或意愿也随之变化。
