香港地处温带地域,已知或疑有许多虫媒病毒呈地方性或在动物中流行,其中最重要的为日本乙型脑炎病毒,在香港业经临床或血清学诊断有散发性乙脑病例,此外,通过血清学的研究得知香港的猪(Higgins,1970)以及中国南方进口的冷血动物(Shortridge 等,1974)均存在着日本乙型脑炎的感染。位于菲律宾西北、中国南部沿海的香港,可以发生某些东南亚等温带地域的虫媒病毒感染,亦可设想诸如澳大利亚的虫媒病毒也可能在这里出现。随着近年香港人口的增加,新界
Hong Kong is located in a temperate zone. Many arboviruses are known or suspected to be endemic or epidemic in animals. The most important of these is Japanese JE virus. Cases of sporadic JE have been diagnosed clinically or serologically in Hong Kong In addition, serological studies revealed that Japanese pigs infected with Japanese encephalitis have both Japanese pigs (Higgins, 1970) and cold-blooded animals imported from southern China (Shortridge et al., 1974). Arbovirus infection in some temperate regions of Southeast Asia can occur in Hong Kong, located in the northwestern Philippines and southern China’s coast. It is also envisaged that arbovirus such as Australia may also be present here. With the population growth of Hong Kong in recent years, the New Territories
