Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus is an important human pathogen belonging to the genus Flavivirus within the family Flaviviridae. The genome of the TBE virus is a single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) molecule of positive polarity encoding all the viral proteins within a single open reading frame (ORF). TBE virus shares common physical and genetic characteristic of the flavivirus genus. Two subtypes of the TBE virus have been described: (1) European, endemic in many parts of Europe and transmitted by Ixodes ricinus ticks, and (2) Far Eastern (Russian spring summer encephalitis (RSSE) virus), endemic in Far East and transmitted by Ixodes persulcatus ticks.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004197 Disease Reservoirs Animate or inanimate sources which normally harbor disease-causing organisms and thus serve as potential sources of disease outbreaks. Reservoirs are distinguished from vectors (DISEASE VECTORS) and carriers, which are agents of disease transmission rather than continuing sources of potential disease outbreaks. Humans may serve both as disease reservoirs and carriers.

D004669 Encephalitis Viruses, Tick-Borne A subgroup of the genus FLAVIVIRUS that causes encephalitis and hemorrhagic fevers and is found in eastern and western Europe and the former Soviet Union. It is transmitted by TICKS and there is an associated milk-borne transmission from viremic cattle, goats, and sheep.

D004675 Encephalitis, Tick-Borne Encephalitis caused by neurotropic viruses that are transmitted via the bite of TICKS. In Europe, the diseases are caused by ENCEPHALITIS VIRUSES, TICK-BORNE, which give rise to Russian spring-summer encephalitis, central European encephalitis, louping ill encephalitis, and related disorders. Powassan encephalitis occurs in North America and Russia and is caused by the Powassan virus. ASEPTIC MENINGITIS and rarely encephalitis may complicate COLORADO TICK FEVER which is endemic to mountainous regions of the western United States.
