A tick is one of the most important vectors of infectious diseases worldwide. Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is one of them. TheCzech Republic belongs among countries with the highest occurrence of the disease. Clinical presentation and relevance arevariable – from asymptomatic or abortive forms to classical neurological manifestation such as meningitis, encephalitis, meningoencephalomyelitiseven death. Complications are more often seen in elderly people and consequences of the disease(post-encephalitic syndrome, palsies) can be permanent. Specific treatment still does not exist and vaccination is the only effectiveprotection against TBE.
