Overview

There are three distinct subtypes associated with the tick-borne encephalitis virus. They include a Siberian, a Far Eastern, and a European subtype. Each subtype infection will display with different clinical manifestations. Identifying the subtype responsible for infection may assist in predicting the overall severity of the disease.

Classification

  • TBE virus has three subtypes: [1]
  1. Siberian subtype (Tick vector: unknown)
  2. Far Eastern subtype (Tick vector: Ixodes persulcatus)
  3. European subtype (Tick vector: Ixodes ricinus)
  • Subtypes may be useful in predicting the severity of infection.
  • The following expresses the three major and most common subtypes responsible for human infection, as well as the associated symptoms.
Subtype Clinical manifestations
Siberian [2]
Far Eastern [2]
European [2]
