Abstract excerpt
Geographic distribution of 185 tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus strains isolated in 8 physico-geographic areas and classified into six genetic variants was analysed. The strains of genetic variant I homologous to the Sophyin prototype strain were found to occur predominantly in the Far East and also frequently found in Western and North-Western parts of the East European plain. The vast territories from lake...
