“…A study of vaccination programs for adults in Europe showed TBE vaccine is recommended for all adults in Austria, Czech Republic, and Latvia, and for high-risk groups in parts of Finland, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, and Bosnia Herzegovina [ 61 ]. There is, however, some evidence that suboptimal vaccination rates have contributed to the recent rise in European TBE cases [ 62 ]. Historically, TBE in China was considered an occupational disease and the TBE immunisation policy recommends vaccination for people working or living in high-risk regions, especially forest workers or those who enter the forest areas for occupational reasons, including military personnel [ 63 ].…”

Encephalitis affects people across the lifespan, has high rates of mortality and morbidity, and results in significant neurological sequelae with long-term consequences to quality of life and wider society. The true incidence is currently unknown due to inaccurate reporting systems. The disease burden of encephalitis is unequally distributed across the globe being highest in low- and middle-income countries where resources are limited. Here countries often lack diagnostic testing, with poor access to essential treatments and neurological services, and limited surveillance and vaccination programmes. Many types of encephalitis are vaccine preventable, whilst others are treatable with early diagnosis and appropriate management. In this viewpoint, we provide a narrative review of key aspects of diagnosis, surveillance, treatment, and prevention of encephalitis and highlight priorities for public health, clinical management, and research, to reduce the disease burden.
