Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infection that affects the central nervous system. It is transmitted by the bite of infected ticks or, less commonly, by consuming unpasteurized dairy products from infected animals.

Transmission

TBE is primarily transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. The ticks that carry the TBE virus are most commonly found in forested areas of Europe and Asia. In rare cases, TBE can also be contracted by consuming unpasteurized milk or cheese from infected animals.

Symptoms

The symptoms of TBE can vary widely, but they typically include fever, headache, nausea, and muscle pain. In severe cases, the infection can lead to meningitis, encephalitis, or myelitis, which can cause long-term neurological damage.

Prevention and Treatment

There is no specific treatment for TBE, but the symptoms can be managed with supportive care. A vaccine is available and is recommended for people living in or traveling to areas where the disease is common.
