Abstract

An unexpectedly high infection rate (26.1%) of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) was identified in a herd of 257 horses of the same breed distributed among 3 federal states in Austria. Young age (p<0.001) and male sex (p=0.001) were positively associated with infection.

Keywords: Austria; Flaviviridae; flavivirus; horses; infection; prevalence; tick-borne encephalitis virus; tickborne encephalitis; vector-borne infections; viruses.
