antibodies to tick-borne encephalitis virus in human sera from the western coast of norway.sera from 341 individuals living in the distribution area of the tick ixodes recinus were tested for tick-borne encephalitis (tbe) antibodies by hai and gel diffusion. kaolin treatment was unreliable for the removal of non-specific hai inhibitors. seven sera positive after this treatment were shown to be negative after acetone extraction/flotation centrifugation. the antibody prevalence rate was 19.6%. seventy-one % of the sera had titres greater than or equal to 40. the prevalence rate decrease ...1979107724
