Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus: A General Overview

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus is classified as one species with three subtypes, namely the European subtype, the Siberian subtype and the Far Eastern subtype. TBE is distributed in an endemic pattern of so-called natural foci over a wide geographical areas. It is the most important flavivirus infection of the CNS in Europe and Russia, with about 13,000 estimated human cases per year. The epidemiology of TBE is closely related to the ecology and biology of ixodid ticks. In nature, TBE virus is propagated in a cycle involving permanently infected ticks and wild vertebrate hosts. Currently, the diagnosis of TBE is mainly based on the detection of specific antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. No specific treatment for the disease is availableto date, but it can be prevented by active immunization. This chapter reviews all aspects related to TBE and provides basic information for clinicians, virologists, immunologists, as well as for students of medicine or life sciences.
