Crowdsourcing-based nationwide tick collection reveals the distribution of Ixodes ricinus and I. persulcatus and associated pathogens in Finland [PDF]
A national crowdsourcing-based tick collection campaign was organized in 2015 with the objective of producing novel data on tick distribution and tick-borne pathogens in Finland. Nearly 20 000 Ixodes ticks were collected.

Tick-borne encephalitis virus foci in Slovakia
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus as a typical arbovirus relies on two types of hosts for its survival: ticks act both as virus vectors and reservoir hosts, and vertebrates amplify the virus infection by acting as a source of infection for feeding ticks. Longitudinal monitoring of TBE virus in ticks and vertebrate hosts including humans over a period

Fatal Tick-Borne Encephalitis in Unvaccinated Traveler from the United States to Switzerland, 2022
We report an unvaccinated traveler from the United States who contracted fulminant fatal tick-borne encephalitis while visiting Switzerland. Climate changes and international travel are intensifying tick exposure for unvaccinated persons. The increasing

Tick-borne encephalitis virus induces chemokine RANTES expression via activation of IRF-3 pathway. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is one of the most important flaviviruses that targets the central nervous system (CNS) and causes encephalitides in humans. Although neuroinflammatory mechanisms may contribute to brain tissue destruction,

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), is the disease still dangerous?
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) belongs to the family Flaviviridae. Flaviviruses are 50 nm viruses having a membrane envelope with an RNA genome. The vector of TBEV is the common tick (Ixodes ricinus) prevalent mainly in Europe.

Public Health Threat of New, Reemerging, and Neglected Zoonoses in the Industrialized World [PDF]
Microbiologic infections acquired from animals, known as zoonoses, pose a risk to public health. An estimated 60% of emerging human pathogens are zoonotic. Of these pathogens, >71% have wildlife origins.

ABSTRACT The incidence of Tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE) cases has increased. The presumed location of transmission of Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) has been expanding increasingly in the western parts of Europe during the past decade. There has also been an increased incidence of surveillance‐reported TBE cases in southern Sweden and southern ...
