Tick-borne Encephalitis Virus
T encephalitis (TBE), which is caused by tickborne encephalitis virus (TBEV), is a potentially fatal disease of the central nervous system, mainly in humans, but also in monkeys, dogs (1), and horses. Ruminants such as goats, sheep, and cattle are considered to be sporadically infected subclinically. However, they might be the source of disease in humans who consume nonpasteurized milk and milk...
متن کاملTick-Borne Encephalitis Virus, Kyrgyzstan
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is an emerging pathogen in Europe and Asia. We investigated TBEV in Kyrgyzstan by collecting small mammals and ticks from diverse localities and analyzing them for evidence of TBEV infection. We found TBEV circulating in Kyrgyzstan much farther south and at higher altitudes than previously reported.
متن کاملHuman CD4+ T Helper Cell Responses after Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccination and Infection
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a human-pathogenic flavivirus that is endemic in large parts of Europe and Asia and causes severe neuroinvasive illness. A formalin-inactivated vaccine induces strong neutralizing antibody responses and confers protection from TBE disease. CD4+ T cell responses are essential for neutralizing antibody production, but data on the functionalities of TBEV-spe...
متن کاملTick-borne encephalitis virus infection of cultured mouse macrophages.
The interactions of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) with mouse macrophages were studied at the electron microscopic level. The cultured mouse macrophages were sensitive to infection with TBEV strain Hypr (a highly neuroinvasive and neurovirulent strain for laboratory mice) and produced relatively high virus titers. However, these macrophage cells remained morphologically inactivated. Viral...
متن کاملSpecificity and Dynamics of Effector and Memory CD8 T Cell Responses in Human Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Infection
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is transferred to humans by ticks. The virus causes tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) with symptoms such as meningitis and meningoencephalitis. About one third of the patients suffer from long-lasting sequelae after clearance of the infection. Studies of the immune response during TBEV-infection are essential to the understanding of host responses to TBEV-infect...
