| Description | Central European encephalitis is the most common arhropod-borne virus disease in the Czech Republic with the mean annual incidence of 6 cases per 100 000 population. However, seven less known arboviruses Flavivirus West Nile, Bunyavirus Ťahyňa, Bunyavirus Batai, Bunyavirus Sedlec, Bunyavirus Lednice, Orbivirus Tribeč, Uukuvirus Uukuniemi also circulate in this country, of which West Nile, Ťahyňa, Tribeč and possibly Batai have ben reported to cause human disease. Moreover, antibodies against two other pathogenic viruses found in Europe , i.e. Alphavirus Sindbis and Coltivirus Eyach, have been detected in the Czech Republic. The aim of this study is to review briefly the less known arboviruses found in the Czech Republic with emphasis on taxonomic status, identification of their hosts and vectors, and pathogenicity to humans. |
