Analysis reveals distribution of TBEV subtypes in ticks from Latvia, suggesting distinct associations with tick species.

Prevalence maps showed two TBEV subtypes in Latvia, with specific associations to tick species in distinct regions.
In total, 3026 ticks were collected between 2019 and 2023, with TBEV detected through RT-qPCR methods.
Genetic characterization indicated multiple independent introductions of TBEV genotypes into the local population.
The study highlights the importance of monitoring tick-borne pathogens for public health implications.

Chitimia‐Dobler et al. (2025) studied this question.
