Abstract:
Tick-borne encephalitis virus(TBEV)is the causative agent of the neurological disease tick-borne encephalitis(TBE),which can cause lethal encephalitis in human and animals with long-term sequelae,thus posing a great threat to life and public health.With the development of natural resources and climate change,the incidence of tick-borne encephalitis has continued to increase.However,there are no effective drugs for treatment of TBEV.Targeted anti-TBEV inhibitors have po-tential for treatment of TBEV infection.Prevention of TBEV infection has mainly focused on avoiding tick bites.In this paper,the pathogenic characteristics,clinical features,detection,diagnosis,prevention,and treatment of TBEV infection are re-viewed,as references for related research.
