What is Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE)?

TBE is a viral infection affecting the brain and nervous system. It is carried by ticks found in forests, meadows, and rural areas.

Where TBE is Found

TBE is present in:

• Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia

• Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania)

• Poland, Scandinavia, parts of France and Italy

• Russia, Mongolia, and some regions of China

If you’re spending time outdoors in these regions, vaccination is strongly recommended.

How TBE Spreads

• Unpasteurised dairy – Rare transmission route via milk/cheese in affected areas.

• Rural exposure – Hiking, camping, and woodland activities increase risk.
