A brief tale of two pioneering moments: Europe's first discovery of Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) virus beyond the Soviet Union and the largest alimentary TBE outbreak in history
Original language description
The emergence of tickborne encephalitis (TBE) in Europe marked several significant milestones. The discovery of TBE in Czechoslovakia in 1948, with Gallia and Krejčí simultaneously isolating the TBE virus (TBEV) from human samples for the first time in Europe outside the Soviet Union, was pivotal. Subsequent TBEV isolation from ticks suggested the viral transmission via this vector. In 1951, the outbreak in Rožňava in Slovakia (Czechoslovakia) revealed an unexpected mode of transmission, unpasteurized milk from a local dairy, challenging existing understanding. Investigations exposed illicit practices of mixing cow's milk with goat's milk for economic gains. Laboratory research confirmed the outbreak was caused by TBEV, which was substantiated by serological analyses. This was the first and largest documented alimentary TBE outbreak in history. In this review, we delve into both published sources and unpublished archival data, offering a comprehensive understanding of these historic accomplishments and shedding light on these pivotal moments.
