Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INVS yxVR0xYq. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Tickborne encephalitis (TBE) is endemic in virtually all countries in central and eastern Europe. It is caused by several closely related but distinct flaviviruses. Three subtypes are recognised at present : a Far-Eastern subtype, a Siberian subtype and a European subtype. The Siberian subtype is associated with Russian spring-summer encephalitis and is transmitted predominantly by the tick Ixodes persulcatus, whereas the European subtype causes central European encephalitis and is transmitted by Ixodes ricinus. |
