Incidence of tick-borne encephalitis in Europe and Russia (literature review)

The article presents a comparison of tick-borne encephalitis incidence in Russia and European countries. The analysis of tick-borne encephalitis incidence over a five-year period (2018-2022) revealed that it is higher in Russia than in European countries. The increase in tickborne viral encephalitis incidence is explained by climate change, incomplete vaccination coverage of the population, migration of the virus from the wild to the immediate environment of humans, and an increase in the number of ticks. The article examines the incidence of tick-borne encephalitis based on a sample of scientific data from PUBMED, Elibrary, Google Scholar, epidemiological reports of the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, state reports "On the state of sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population in the Russian Federation" in the period from 2018 to 2022. 3 articles from a sample of 2402 articles were analyzed.
