SUMMARY
To learn more about its distribution and prevalence in the Netherlands, the authors conducted large-scale surveillance in ticks and rodents during August 2018-September 2020. The authors tested 320 wild rodents and >46,000 ticks from 48 locations considered to be at high risk for TBEV circulation. Transmission of TBE virus (TBEV) is dependent on complex ecologic interactions between TBEV, tick vectors (in Europe, principally Ixodes ricinus) and vertebrate reservoir hosts (small rodents of the genera Apodemus, Myodes, and Microtus) and appears to occur only under specific environmental conditions. The Netherlands was long considered a nonendemic . . .
