Vector-borne diseases play a significant role in veterinary health, impacting both wild and domestic animals and posing a major constraint on the development of animal husbandry worldwide. The current study aimed to highlight some of the factors involved in the appearance and dissemination of these emerging and re-emerging diseases, as well as the prevalence rate of certain species of pathogens, in cattle throughout Europe. Considering the complexity of vector-host systems, ticks can be mentioned as the first and most common vector involved in the transmission of pathogens in cattle. The highest prevalence was reported for two vector species: and . Another factor that contributes to the rapid identification of these diseases is the employed diagnostic method; thus, the most frequently employed techniques in Europe are: PCR, ELISA, and phylogenetic analysis of sequences. The prevalence of tick-borne infections in cattle is continuously increasing. The most frequent associations are spp., spp., spp., and . Overall, this study highlights a rising occurrence and prevalence of vector-borne diseases in European cattle, underscoring the need for thorough monitoring of farms and vector hotspots-ideally within a "One Health" framework.
媒介传播疾病在兽医健康中起着重要作用，影响着野生动物和家畜，对全球畜牧业的发展构成重大制约。当前的研究旨在突出欧洲各地牛群中这些新出现和再次出现的疾病的出现和传播所涉及的一些因素，以及某些病原体物种的流行率。考虑到媒介-宿主系统的复杂性，蜱虫可被视为牛群中病原体传播所涉及的首要且最常见的媒介。报告显示两种媒介物种的流行率最高： 和 。有助于快速识别这些疾病的另一个因素是所采用的诊断方法；因此，欧洲最常使用的技术是：聚合酶链反应（PCR）、酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）以及序列的系统发育分析。牛群中蜱传感染的流行率在持续上升。最常见的关联是 属、 属、 属和 。总体而言，这项研究突出了欧洲牛群中媒介传播疾病的发生率和流行率不断上升的情况，强调了在“同一健康”框架内对农场和媒介热点进行全面监测的必要性。
