Health - 5 cases of TBE in Thuringia this year [2024]
The Berlin Robert Koch Institute (RKI) 研究所によると， 5例のダニ媒介性脳炎患者 cases of Tick-Borne Meningoencephalitis (TBE) in Thuringia this year [2024] が報告されている。TBE は初夏髄膜脳炎 Early Summer Meningoencephalitis のことで，感染ダニによって伝播される。インフルエンザ様疾患から脳炎，髄膜炎，脊髄炎まで症状は様々で，2024年初以降全国で245 cases in the database が報告されている。
The number of designated TBE risk areas in Thuringia が最近増加し，13 regions now identified by the RKI での発生が確認され， ほとんどが州内の東部または南部にある。最も新しく発生が確認されたThe latest addition のは the Altenburger Land district で，これらの地域の住民に対し，the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko) は予防接種 preventatively vaccinated against FSME を推奨している。
Borrelia is significantly more common than TBE
The most commonly tick-borne infectious disease in Germany is Borreliosis（ボレリア症）, a disease caused by bacteria. For Thuringia, there have been 97 cases reported to the RKI this year [2024].
RKI map of TBE risk areas
1. Despite the 5 reported cases of Tick-Borne Meningoencephalitis (TBE) this year [2024] in Thuringia, the Altenburger Land district has recently been added as a new designated TBE risk area.
2. The Berlin Robert Koch Institute (RKI) advises people living in the TBE risk areas in Thuringia, particularly the eastern and southern parts of the state, to consider getting preventatively vaccinated against Tick-Borne Meningoencephalitis.
3. Interestingly, although Tick-Borne Meningoencephalitis (TBE) has only 5 reported cases in Thuringia this year [2024], Borreliosis, a more common tick-borne infection caused by bacteria, has had 97 reported cases in the same region.
4. The RKI's map shows that there are currently 13 designated TBE risk areas in Thuringia, with most of them located in the eastern and southern parts of the state, indicating a potential threat from both TBE and Borreliosis in these regions.
[Mod.TY－Usually, the TBE virus vector, _Ixodes ricinus_, activity in Germany starts mid- to end of March.... Interestingly, Thuringia is home to the Rennsteig, Germany's best-known hiking trail, a likely area to acquire ticks.
Tick-borne encephalitis is a virus infection caused by one of 3 TBE virus subtypes belonging to the Flaviviridae family: Central European, Siberian, and Far Eastern (formerly known as Russian spring-summer encephalitis). It is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ixodes ticks.]

The Swedish National Veterinary Institute has announced the discovery of a new species of exotic tick [in Sweden]. Its natural habitat is not the north, but the south of Europe or the Middle East.
The Swedish Veterinary Services (SVA) reports that the variegated sheep tick can carry dangerous diseases, including one that causes panic in people.
_Dermacentor marginatus_ is a new species of tick that lives in Iran or Kazakhstan, not necessarily Sweden, but the parasite was found in Stockholm. It is likely that it can transmit diseases such as the dangerous Crimean-Congo fever with an extremely severe course. No vaccine has been found for the virus to date, and treatment only involves alleviating symptoms, although there are reports of patients who have been helped by substances such as ribavirin. Antiviral medication sometimes reduces mortality, but it must be administered in the early phase of the disease.
