Official figures report that as of 17 June 2011, 16 439 individuals in the Novosibirsk region of Russia sustained tick bites, which compares with 11 547 reported tick bites for the same time period of 2010. A total of 379 suspected cases of tick-borne encephalitits (TBE) have been recorded and of those 49 have been laboratory confirmed as TBE.
Advice for Travellers
Immunisation against TBE is available for those considered to be at risk. From spring to late summer, travellers visiting rural forested, parkland areas etc, should also prevent tick bites.
