“…Bei günstigen Umweltbedingungen für Vektor, Reservoirwirte und die Transmission können sich ausgehend von infizierten Zugvögeln neue Endemiegebiete etablieren. In gemäßigten Klimazonen begünstigen ein relativ warmer Winter, ein warmer, feuchter Frühling sowie vor allem ein langer, heißer und trockener Sommer einen Anstieg der Fallzahlen[11,48,51].

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDer Klimawandel, globale Umweltveränderungen und die Globalisierung führen weltweit aufgrund von Veränderungen der Verbreitungsgebiete, vermehrten Spillover-Ereignissen und einem gesteigerten Übertragungsrisiko zu einer Zunahme mancher Infektionskrankheiten. Besonders vektorübertragene Krankheiten sind betroffen, da sich Vektor- und Wirtspopulationen den sich ändernden Bedingungen anpassen. Steigende Temperaturen und eine Zunahme der Luftfeuchtigkeit begünstigen vielfach die Vermehrung von u. a. Zecken und Mücken, was das Risiko für Dengue-, Zika-, West-Nil- und Chikungunya-Virus-Infektionen sowie Borreliose und Frühsommer-Meningoenzephalitis (FSME) in Europa erhöht. Auch Sandmücken, die Leishmaniose übertragen, breiten sich verstärkt in Mittelmeerländern aus. Angesichts des wachsenden Infektionsrisikos verschiedener Erkrankungen sind verstärkte Maßnahmen zur Prävention und Überwachung von vektorübertragenen Infektionskrankheiten in Europa geboten.

“…The three viral structural proteins, capsid (C), membrane (prM/M) and envelope (E), are encoded within the 5′ portion of the ORF, while 7 nonstructural proteins (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B and NS5) are encoded within the 3′ portion [ 2 ]. WNV can be divided genetically into nine lineages, but only lineage 1 (WNV-1), identified in North America, North Africa, Europe and Australia, and lineage 2 (WNV-2), endemic in South Africa and Madagascar, can cause human disease [ 3 ].…”

Background: West Nile virus (WNV) is an emerging mosquito-borne neurotropic virus, belonging to the Flaviviridae family and the Orthoflavivirus genus. The effective control of WNV requires a targeted preventive strategy that also needs the identification of the higher-risk populations. Hence, this study focused on a systematic literature review of WNV-acquired infection in work-related settings and the assessment of the exposure risks among different occupational categories. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted to identify studies until September 2023 in multiple databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS and Web of Science, according to the PRISMA 2020 statement. Risk of bias of collected papers was assessed by the ROB tool of the National Toxicology Program’s Office of Health Assessment and Translation handbook. Results: A total of 21 studies were included in the systematic review, out of which seventeen were observational studies and four were case reports. Workers identified as at higher risk for WNV infection were military workers, veterinarians, agricultural workers, farmers, and laboratory workers with contact with infected fluids or aerosols. Conclusions: The identification of higher-risk workers could facilitate active surveillance by occupational physicians, which could improve our understanding of the epidemiology of WNV and, in addition, could help tailor appropriate preventive recommendations, reducing the overall burden of disease in high-risk areas.

Solving Epidemics of Lyme and Other Vector-Borne Infections through the Immune System

Vector-borne infections such as Lyme disease and co-infections, rickettsiosis, dengue, West Nile fever, and malaria that are known for their high morbidity, and even mortality, have been globally on the rise due to several key factors. Among these are the increased population of and exposure to ticks and mosquitoes that are caused by climate change and deforestation, as well as a generally more health-compromised population as evidenced by skyrocketing prevalence of chronic diseases. The implicated factors in chronic sickness are continual rise in environmental pollution, unhealthy diet and substance abuse, overuse of antibiotics leading to microbial evolvement into more aggressive forms, disturbed biome, secondary fungal infections and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Some of the most common vector-borne infections lack effective treatments, including chronic post-treatment Lyme disease with diagnostic tests not always being reliable. Additionally, Lyme's Borrelia Burgdorferi, that is the most common vector-borne disease in North America and Europe, presents a particular challenge to its treatments by existing in many different genotypes with some being particularly aggressive. This article presents a different approach to vector-borne, and infections in general, based on several principal factors. These concern the increased focus on the host innate immunity to defeat infectious agents using a novel diagnosis to ascertain reasons for suboptimal immunity, treatment to address this and elicit proper immune stimulation by vaccine-like action. Both diagnosis and treatment concern energy medicine, which is formally recognized by the NIH, and based on the physics of the living, water, and all matter in nature.
