广东省蜱及蜱传播疾病流行概况

Epidemic Status of Tick and Tick-borne Diseases in Guangdong Province

蜱在吸食动物血液的同时可传播多种病原体,引发重要的人兽共患蜱传病,给人类健康和畜牧业发展带来严重危害,具有重要的公共卫生意义。近年来不断上升的发病率愈发引起人们的关注。广东省特殊的气候、地理资源环境和饮食习惯不但为野生动植物的生存提供了良好的环境,同时也增加了人与动物接触的机会,为新的蜱种和蜱媒病传播提供了方便。目前广东省分布流行的蜱种主要涉及6属21种,已经证实存在的蜱传病有莱姆病、Q热、北亚蜱传斑点热和人粒细胞无形体。论文就广东省蜱的种类分布以及蜱传病的流行概况做一综述,为广东省蜱传病的防控措施制定及传播机制研究提供参考。

Tick is an important contributor to vector-borne diseases in China and tick-borne diseases have at-tracted much attention because of their increasing incidence and consequent significant harm to livestock and human health.The special climate,geography resources and dietary habits in Guangdong province provide good conditions for the survival of wildlife as well as increase the chances of people contacting with animals,which is helpful for tick and tick-borne disease spread.The most commonly observed tick species in Guangdong province contain 6 genus and 21 species,and human tick-borne diseases in Guangdong prov-ince include Lyme borreliosis,Q-fever,North-Asia tick-borne spotted fever and human granulocytic ana-plasmosis.Detailed information regarding the current epidemic status of tick and major tick-borne diseases in Guangdong province were reviewed in this paper,which would make efforts in government management and research for the prevention,control,diagnosis,and treatment of tick-borne diseases,as well as for the control of ticks.
