2023年5月26日 · VectorNet is a project of ECDC and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) which aims to contribute to improving preparedness and response for vector-borne diseases, following a ‘One-Health’ approach. VectorNet started in …

2018年1月12日 · It also implements regular surveillance on vector-borne diseases, such as West Nile fever and tick-borne encephalitis. Vector-borne diseases rely upon organisms, named vectors, such as mosquitoes, ticks or sandflies that have an active role in the transmission of a pathogen from one host to the other.

Vector borne diseases are a specific group of infectious diseases that are a (re-)emerging threat to Europe. One important aspect of preparedness for vector borne diseases is the surveillance of the introduction, establishment and spread of the main disease vectors.

2018年6月28日 · Vector sampling protocols outlining the recommended methods for collecting vectors have been issued today by ECDC and EFSA, to support entomologists and public-health professionals in Europe. It is a first attempt to summarise best-practices in terms of methods and strategies for sampling mosquitoes, sandflies, biting midges and ticks.

Experts in vectors and vector-borne diseases can submit information on the distribution of vectors like ticks, mosquitoes, sand flies, biting midges through the online tool. Access VectorNet tool Latest outputs

2024年6月11日 · Since 2010, which is when the first recent dengue outbreak was recorded, 48 vector-borne dengue outbreaks have occurred. Between 2010 and 2017, there were up to 3 outbreaks per year, 5 outbreaks in 2018, 7 in 2020, 10 outbreaks in 2022, and the peak was observed last year in 2023, with 8 outbreaks in France, 4 in Italy and 2 in Spain.

2021年12月13日 · Vector surveillance and control was most often implemented in the context of mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases. The presence of a mosquito-vector, in the absence of autochthonous transmission, was a trigger to implement control measures in 87% of the countries.

2023年12月15日 · Flea-borne diseases are relatively neglected in Europe compared to other vector-borne diseases in terms of targeted surveillance, research and control. One of the main knowledge gaps in understanding the risks of pathogen transmission from fleas to humans is the lack of geographical distribution da,ta mainly for the house flea, P. irritans and ...

2023年1月2日 · Known vector status. Aedes aegypti is known to transmit dengue virus, yellow fever virus, chikungunya virus, and Zika virus. It has been suggested as a potential vector of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis virus [38] and vector competency* studies have shown that Ae. aegypti is capable of transmitting West Nile virus. West Nile virus has also been ...
