| Russian tick-borne encephalitis | 1. (Central European subtype) tick-borne meningoencephalitis caused by a flavivirus closely related to the virus causing the Far Eastern type; it is transmitted by Ixodes ricinus, also by infected raw milk, especially that of goats. Synonym: biundulant meningoencephalitis, Central European tick-borne fever, diphasic milk fever, Russian spring-summer encephalitis (Western subtype). 2. (Eastern subtype) tick-borne encephalitis, a severe form of encephalitis caused by a flavivirus, a virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family, and transmitted by ticks (Ixodes pertulcatus and I. Ricinus). Synonym: Russian tick-borne encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| mite-borne typhus | Scrub: typhus, a mite-borne infectious disease caused by a microorganism, rickettsia tsutsugamushi, characteristically with fever, headache, a raised (macular) rash, swollen glands (lymphadenopathy) and a dark crusted ulcer (called an eschar or tache noire) at the site of the chigger (mite larva) bite. This disease occurs in the area bounded by japan, india, and Australia. Known also as tsutsugamushi disease and tropical typhus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| north asian tick-borne rickettsiosis | One of the tick-borne rickettsial diseases of the eastern hemisphere, similar to rocky mountain spotted fever, but less severe, with fever, a small ulcer (eschar) at the site of the tick bite, swollen glands nearby (satellite lymphadenopathy), and a red raised (maculopapular) rash. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tick-borne disease | <infectious disease> Diseases transmitted by ticks such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Q fever, and Lyme disease. (09 Oct 1997) |
| tick-borne diseases | Bacterial, viral, or parasitic diseases transmitted to humans and animals by the bite of infected ticks. The families ixodidae and argasidae contain many bloodsucking species that are important pests of man and domestic birds and mammals and probably exceed all other arthropods in the number and variety of disease agents they transmit. Many of the tick-borne diseases are zoonotic. (12 Dec 1998) |

| tick-borne encephalitis virus | An arbovirus of the genus Flavivirus that occurs in Central Europe and the USSR in two subtypes, causing two forms of encephalitis in humans: tick-borne encephalitis (Central European subtype) and tick-borne encephalitis (Eastern subtype); the vectors are ticks of the genus Ixodes. Synonym: Russian spring-summer encephalitis virus, tick-borne virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tick-borne fever | A rickettsial disease of ruminants transmitted by the tick Ixodes ricinus in Europe and Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides supina in India and characterised by pyrexia, depression, and anorexia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tick-borne rickettsioses of the eastern hemisphere | Thare are 3 known diseases caused by infection with rickettsial agents. They are north asian tick-borne rickettsiosis, queensland tick typhus, and african tick typhus (fi |
| tick-borne rickettsiosis, north asian | One of the tick-borne rickettsial diseases of the eastern hemisphere, similar to rocky mountain spotted fever, but less severe, with fever, a small ulcer (eschar) at the site of the tick bite, swollen glands nearby (satellite lymphadenopathy), and a red raised (maculopapular) rash.

| tooth-borne | A term used to describe a prosthesis or part of a prosthesis which depends entirely upon the abutment teeth for support. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tooth-borne base | The denture base restoring an edentulous area which has abutment teeth at each end for support; the tissue which it covers is not used for support. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalitis, tick-borne | A disease caused by tick-borne encephalitis virus, a species of flavivirus, and a member of the subgroup encephalitis viruses, tick-borne. Tick-borne encephalitis appears to be a spectrum of disease caused by two related viruses: the european subtype - central european encephalitis virus and the eastern subtype - russian spring-summer encephalitis virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis viruses, tick-borne | A subgroup of the genus flavivirus that causes encephalitis and haemorrhagic fevers and is found in eastern and western europe and the former soviet union. It is transmitted by tick vectors and there is an associated milk-borne transmission from viraemic cattle, goats, and sheep. (12 Dec 1998) |
