Abstract

This dissertation by Pontus Lindblom at Linköping University investigates the ecology and epidemiology of the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in Sweden and the Åland Islands. The study examines the interactions between ticks and humans, focusing on TBEV prevalence in ticks and the risk of human infection post-tick bite. It highlights demographic factors, such as age and gender, that influence the likelihood of timely tick removal and subsequent infection risk. The research includes the development of methodologies for detecting TBEV in ticks and correlating virus load and tick feeding time with infection risk. Additionally, the study assesses the immune response to TBEV vaccination in older individuals. Results suggest that both increased virus load in ticks and longer feeding times are associated with higher infection risk, while vaccination efficacy diminishes with age. This work provides insights into TBEV transmission dynamics and supports strategies for prevention and vaccination.
