Abstract
We report the presence of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in the Netherlands. Serologic screening of roe deer found TBEV-neutralizing antibodies with a seroprevalence of 2%, and TBEV RNA was detected in 2 ticks from the same location. Enhanced surveillance and awareness among medical professionals has led to the identification of autochthonous cases.
Highlights
Her research interests include arbovirus–vector interactions, mechanisms of arbovirus transmission, and public health activities such as diagnosis of arboviruses and hemorrhagic fever viruses
