Jasper Van Heuverswyn is a medical doctor with interests in microbiology and epidemiology. After obtaining an additional degree in public health sciences, he has now started his specialisation in laboratory medicine, with a focus on microbiology, in Belgium. During the MOOD Science Webinar, Jasper presented his work on tick-borne encephalitis surveillance within the EU/EEA. This work was executed as part of his traineeship at ECDC. He provided a summary of changes in the epidemiology of tick-borne encephalitis between 2012 and 2020., and elaborated on some of the challenges related to data interpretation. The results can be used to update prevention strategies, including vaccination and health promotion campaigns, within the EU/EEA.
