Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus is an important human pathogen belonging to the genus Flavivirus within the family Flaviviridae. The genome of the TBE virus is a single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) molecule of positive polarity encoding all the viral proteins within a single open reading frame (ORF). TBE virus shares common physical and genetic characteristic of the flavivirus genus. Two subtypes of the TBE virus have been described: (1) European, endemic in many parts of Europe and transmitted by Ixodes ricinus ticks, and (2) Far Eastern (Russian spring summer encephalitis (RSSE) virus), endemic in Far East and transmitted by Ixodes persulcatus ticks.
蜱传脑炎（TBE）病毒是黄病毒科黄病毒属的一种重要人类病原体。TBE病毒的基因组是一个单链RNA（ssRNA）分子，具有正链极性，在单个开放阅读框（ORF）内编码所有病毒蛋白。TBE病毒具有黄病毒属的共同物理和遗传特征。已描述了TBE病毒的两个亚型：（1）欧洲型，在欧洲许多地区流行，由蓖麻硬蜱传播；（2）远东型（俄罗斯春夏脑炎（RSSE）病毒），在远东地区流行，由全沟硬蜱传播。
