TY - JOUR AU - Lukan, Martin AU - Bullova, Eva AU - Petko, Branislav T1 - Climate Warming and Tick-borne Encephalitis, Slovakia T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2010 VL - 16 IS - 3 SP - 524 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Increased tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) cases have been reported in central Europe. To investigate temporal trends in the altitude at which TBE cases occur in Slovakia, we analyzed the number of TBE cases during 1961–2004. Since 1980, TBE cases moved from lowlands to submountainous areas, most likely because of rising temperature.
