Caption:
This illustration shows key epidemiologic factors involved in the transmission of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), a viral disease primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks. The virus is maintained in the environment through cycles involving ticks and animal hosts. Three subtypes of tick-borne encephalitis virus are recognized—European, Far Eastern, and Siberian—each associated with distinct geographic distributions and varying disease severity.
