Abstract
The increasing prevalence of Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), and other tick-borne infections such as Babesia, Ehrlichia, Rickettsia, and Anaplasma is a growing public health concern. Existing tick bite prevention strategies are insufficient; therefore, vaccines represent a promising preventive measure. At the moment, only a vaccine for tick-borne encephalitis is available on the market. A vaccine for Lyme disease, however, is at an advanced stage of clinical trials. In this article, we focus on describing the progress in the invention of vaccines for tick-borne diseases. This article analyzes their development and effectiveness.
