The genus has been divided into spp., which can cause Lyme Disease (LD), and spp., which can cause Relapsing Fever (RF). The distribution of genus has broadened due to factors such as climate change, alterations in land use, and enhanced human and animal mobility. Consequently, there is an increasing necessity for a One Health strategy to identify the key components in the transmission cycle by monitoring the human-animal-environment interactions. The aim of this study is to summarize all accessible data to increase our understanding and provide a comprehensive overview of distribution in the Mediterranean region. Databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Google were searched to determine the presence of and spp. in vectors, animals, and humans in countries around the Mediterranean Sea. A total of 3026 were identified and screened and after exclusion of papers that did not fulfill the including criteria, 429 were used. After examination of the available literature, it was revealed that various species associated with LD and RF are prevalent in vectors, animals, and humans in Mediterranean countries and should be monitored in order to effectively manage and prevent potential infections.
该属已被分为可引起莱姆病(LD)的 种和可引起回归热(RF)的 种。由于气候变化、土地利用变化以及人类和动物流动性增强等因素,该属的分布范围已经扩大。因此,越来越有必要采取“同一健康”战略,通过监测人类-动物-环境相互作用来确定 传播周期中的关键组成部分。本研究的目的是总结所有可获取的数据,以增进我们的理解,并全面概述该属在地中海地区的分布情况。搜索了包括PubMed、谷歌学术和谷歌在内的数据库,以确定地中海周边国家的媒介、动物和人类中 种和 种的存在情况。共识别并筛选了3026篇文献,在排除不符合纳入标准的论文后,使用了429篇。在查阅现有文献后发现,与莱姆病和回归热相关的各种物种在地中海国家的媒介、动物和人类中普遍存在,为有效管理和预防潜在感染,应对其进行监测。
