Resumo: Emergence of viral agents in Europe is influenced by various factors. Climatic changes influencing possible vectors, insufficient vaccination, - travel of man - goods are among the most important reasons to explain these changes. Fever - arthralgia are the leading symptoms in infection with Dengue, Sindbis, or Chikungunya virus. In contrast, tick-born encephalitis (TBE), Toscana, or West Nile virus infections mainly lead to meningo-encephalitis. In Europe, hemorrhagic fever is caused by Crimean Congo - Hanta virus. Protective vaccines are available for emerging viral agents like TBE, influenza - measles.
