Abstract:
In recent years, with the change of natural and social factors, such as climate warming, urbanization, land reclamation, human population growth, change of life customs, and convenient transportation, the human infectious diseases transmitted by insect vectors, well known as insect-borne infectious diseases, has increased significantly, causing a serious threat to public health. This paper focuses on the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, especially laboratory diagnosis of insect-borne infectious diseases, and emphasizes that medical institutions should pay attention to the rapid and accurate laboratory diagnosis of insect-borne infectious diseases. Metagenomic next generation sequencing has potential value in the diagnosis of insect-borne infectious diseases with unknown causes.
