蜱传脑炎病毒（TBEV）是一种引起人类严重脑炎的人畜共患病原体。作为潜在宿主的啮齿动物种类广泛分布于日本各地区。在本研究中，我们对日本不同地区的啮齿动物进行了大规模的流行病学调查。野外采集鼠类和食虫类血清931份。在本州岛根县和北海道县的几个地区发现鼠类乙型肝炎病毒血清检测呈阳性。这些结果强调了在日本进一步开展乙型脑炎流行病学和流行病学研究以及新发蜱传脑炎预防措施的必要性。
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a zoonotic agent causing severe encephalitis in humans. Rodent species that are potential hosts for TBEV are widely distributed in various regions in Japan. In this study, we carried out large-scale epizootiological surveys in rodents from various areas of Japan. A total of 931 rodent and insectivore sera were collected from field surveys. Rodents seropositive for TBEV were found in Shimane Prefecture in Honshu and in several areas of Hokkaido Prefecture. These results emphasize the need for further epizootiological and epidemiological research of TBEV and preventive measures for emerging tick-borne encephalitis in Japan.
