Klimawandel und vektorübertragene Infektionen in EuropaTeil 2: Zeckenübertragene Infektionen

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

Die zunehmenden Auswirkungen des Klimawandels und globaler Umweltveränderungen haben erhebliche Konsequenzen für das Infektionsrisiko von vektorübertragenen Erkrankungen. Dies wirkt sich insbesondere auch auf die temperaturabhängige Aktivität und das Vorkommen von Zecken in Europa aus. Veränderungen in den Verbreitungsgebieten der Vektoren, verbunden mit einem gesteigerten Übertragungsrisiko durch verhaltensbedingte Faktoren, führen zu einem Anstieg der durch Zecken übertragenen Erkrankungen, darunter Borreliose, Frühsommer-Meningoenzephalitis (FSME) und Tularämie. Insbesondere steigende Temperaturen und eine Zunahme der Luftfeuchtigkeit begünstigen die Vermehrung von Zecken. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist eine verstärkte Implementierung von Präventions- und Überwachungsmaßnahmen im Kontext zeckenübertragener Infektionskrankheiten von entscheidender Bedeutung.

ABSTRACT

The increasing impact of the climate crisis and further global environmental changes have important consequences for the infection risk posed by vector-borne diseases. This has a particular impact on the temperature-dependent activity and occurrence of ticks in Europe. Changes in the distribution patterns of vectors, coupled with an increased transmission risk due to behavioural factors, result in a rise in tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), tularemia, and others. Specifically, rising temperatures and increased humidity favor the proliferation of ticks. The implementation of preventive and surveillance measures regarding tick-borne infectious diseases increasingly becomes a priority of public health.
