Article Synopsis
- Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) has expanding endemic regions in Europe and is a major cause of viral encephalitis.
- The study tested whether prior infection with a low-virulence virus (Langat virus) or a harmless strain of TBEV could protect mice from a lethal TBEV strain.
- Results showed that these preinfections provided some protection, but while they reduced severe symptoms and viral presence in the brain, they did not completely stop the high-virulence TBEV from entering the central nervous system.
