Abstract:
This study explored the current status,hotspots,and research trends in tick-borne encephalitis(TBE)worldwide.The bibliometric analysis and knowledge mapping software,VOSviewer,was used to conduct a comprehensive study of the literature in the field of TBE in the Web of Science database and the CNKI database,and to construct a research framework of the TBE field in order to demonstrate the association between the main keywords,research countries,research institutions and published journals in this field.A total of 2 046 English-language and 582 Chinese-language publications were included in this study,with an increasing trend of publication year by year.Keyword co-occurrence analysis showed that TBE and its viruses were the focus of research,along with infection,epidemiology,pathogen classification,prevalence,transmission,and clinical symptoms.The United States,Germany,and other countries were at the top of the list of publications and citations.Institutions such as the Russian Academy of Sciences and Medical University of Vienna were prominent contributors to TBE research.Journals represented by Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases were in the lead in terms of publications and citations and were important publications for research in this field.TBE research showed wide and vigorous trends worldwide.The study displayed the current status of research and the evolution of hot trends in this field,which provided us with strong support for examining TBE as a public health problem from a broader perspective and was also of great significance for promoting future in-depth research and formulating precise prevention and control strategies.
