| 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.

| 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) |
| typhus, endemic flea-borne | An infectious disease clinically similar to epidemic louse-borne typhus (typhus, epidemic louse-borne), but caused by rickettsia typhi, which is transmitted from rat to man by the rat flea, xenopsylla cheopis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| typhus, epidemic louse-borne | The classic form of typhus, caused by rickettsia prowazekii, which is transmitted from man to man by the louse pediculus humanus corporis. This disease is characterised by the sudden onset of intense headache, malaise, and generalised myalgia followed by the formation of a macular skin eruption and vascular and neurologic disturbances.

| flea-borne typhus | An acute infectious disease with fever, headache, and rash, all quite similar to, but milder than, epidemic typhus, caused by a related microoganism, rickettsia typhi (mooseri), transmitted to humans by rat fleas (xenopsylla cheopis). The animal reservoir includes rats, mice and other rodents. Murine typhus occurs sporadically worldwide but is more prevalent in congested rat-infested urban areas. Also known as endemic typhus, rat-flea typhus; urban typhus of malaya). (12 Dec 1998) |
