Spatio-temporal variation of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) incidence in the Czech Republic: Is the current explanation of the disease’s rise satisfactory?

Abstract

Over 13 000 cases of TBE, registered 1971-2007, were pinpointed on a GIS map and analysed for density variations in both time and space. These analyses revealed that the incidence of TBE was highly variable both across the country and over the study period.
