Geographic distribution of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in the Netherlands based on sampling of ticks (A), rodents (B), roe deer (C), and reported human (D) tick-borne encephalitis cases. Stars indicate TBEV RNA–positive tick pools or rodent samples. Closed circles indicate serum samples that tested positive in TBEV serum neutralization tests. White circles indicate negative test results. Data for roe deer were reproduced from Rijks et al. (14) with permission. Maps were constructed with Arc-GIS software (ESRI, https://www.esri.com).
