Tick-borne encephalitis (central European encephalitis) and Lyme disease (erythema chronicum migrans) are diseases mainly transmitted by ticks of the Ixodes ricinus species. The tick-borne encephalitis, a virus infection, can produce severe encephalitic symptoms. There is no specific treatment but the infection can be prevented by active or passive immunization. Lyme disease is caused by a spirochete (Borrelia burgdorferi). Due to the variety of often uncharacteristic symptoms this infection is not easily recognized. However, early diagnosis and antibiotic treatment are necessary to prevent chronic damage to skin, joints, heart or nervous system.
蜱传脑炎（中欧脑炎）和莱姆病（慢性游走性红斑）是主要由蓖麻硬蜱传播的疾病。蜱传脑炎是一种病毒感染，可产生严重的脑炎症状。目前尚无特效治疗方法，但可通过主动或被动免疫预防感染。莱姆病由螺旋体（伯氏疏螺旋体）引起。由于症状多样且往往不典型，这种感染不易被识别。然而，早期诊断和抗生素治疗对于预防皮肤、关节、心脏或神经系统的慢性损害是必要的。
