Regular transmission of the tick-borne encephalitis virus by Ixodidae males feeding on laboratory animals is demonstrated. The virus titres in the male saliva were 0.1-1.5 lgLD50/0.03 ml. It was established that such doses didn't produce tense viremia in white mice or clinical tick-borne encephalitis.
已证实硬蜱科雄性蜱虫在吸食实验动物时能定期传播蜱传脑炎病毒。雄性蜱虫唾液中的病毒滴度为0.1 - 1.5 lgLD50/0.03 ml。已确定这样的剂量不会在小白鼠体内产生强烈病毒血症,也不会引发临床蜱传脑炎。
