Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Northeastern China has a high incidence of tick-borne diseases. Emerging and re-emerging tick-borne viral diseases pose a considerable threat to public health.
To date, ten tick-borne viruses have been identified to cause disease in humans or animals in northeastern China. The complex diversity of tick-borne viral diseases in the region poses substantial diagnosis and treatment challenges, but also offers valuable opportunities to study the genetic evolution and transmission dynamics of tick-borne viruses. This article highlights the significant public health threat posed by tick-borne viral diseases in Northeastern China.
This region experiences a high incidence of such diseases, with both emerging and re-emerging pathogens contributing to the health burden. The article emphasizes the need for increased surveillance, public awareness, and preventive measures to mitigate the impact of these diseases. Compuscript Ltd Liu, Z & Wang, Z.
