Infection and Vaccination-Induced Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus IgG Antibody Prevalence in the Austrian Federal State of Upper Austria, a High-Risk Region for TBEV
Our data provide evidence of a continuing high risk of TBEV infection in the Federal state of Upper Austria. The non-vaccinated population has an eightfold higher infection prevalence compared to the whole population. The MI of TBEV for severe infection seems lower as detailed in previous reports.
