| natural foci of tick-borne encephalitis in central europe and the relationship of the incidence of ixodes ricinus to original ecosystems. | based on reports of the national epidemiological service on tick-borne encephalitis (tbe) morbidity in 1953-1987, data in the literature, and results of the author's own field research on the occurrence of the common tick, ixodes ricinus, foci of this disease have been identified on the territory of czechoslovakia. in bohemia a significant focus of tbe in the central bohemian region is located in the krivoklát area with forests and in the berounka, mid-vltava, and lower-sázava river basins, in t ... | 1995 | 7787824 |
| possible role of rainfall in the epidemiology of tick-borne encephalitis. | the assumption that the amount of rainfall in the summer months influences the frequency of tbe is based on the fact that the determining factor for the existence, development and activity of ixodes ricinus is relative air humidity (rh) and the finding that low rh negatively influences dynamics of infection and infection rate of i. ricinus with tbe virus. a higher incidence of tbe then develops due to the coincidence of increased activity of ticks and recreational activity of humans after an int ... | 1997 | 9457410 |
| prevalence of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genospecies in host-seeking ixodes ricinus ticks in selected south bohemian locations (czech republic). | in selected localities of ceské budĕjovice and ceský, krumlov districts, well known by stable high incidence of tick-borne encephalitis (tbe) human cases but with low incidence of lyme borreliosis, monitoring of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) in ixodes ricinus ticks was performed. research was also aimed at the spread of i. ricinus to mountain areas of this region (national park sumava), as well as at investigating this tick for b. burgdorferi s.l. genospecies and tbe virus infection. al ... | 2004 | 15508414 |
| tick-borne encephalitis virus prevalence in ixodes ricinus ticks collected in high risk habitats of the south-bohemian region of the czech republic. | a survey for tick-borne encephalitis virus in trades ricinus ticks was conducted in may 2000 in two districts of the south-bohemian region of the czech republic with a high occurrence of tick-borne encephalitis (tbe) in humans. homogenized ticks were tested on ps cells, which were examined for any cytopathic effect, plaque assay and indirect fluorescent antibody test (ift). the ift has proved to be the most sensitive and most rapid test to demonstrate the virus in ticks. tbe virus was found in 1 ... | 2002 | 12475083 |
