The Far Eastern subtype (TBEV-FE) was detected in 3 different species of ticks collected from domestic animals and agricultural lands in the Republic of Moldova between 2010 and 2011 (Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor spp. and Haemaphysalis spp.).1 The World Health Organization (WHO) Centralized Information System for Infectious Diseases (CISID) collects data on the incidence of TBE; however, in 2005 and 2006 Moldova officially reported zero TBE cases.2 Overview of TBE in Moldova Table 1: Virus, vector, transmission of TBE in Moldova Viral subtypes, distribution Far Eastern subtype (TBEV-FE)1 Reservoir animals Information not available Infected tick species (%) 3.8% I. ricinus ticks (3/78),3.9% D. reticulatus ticks (3/77) and8.8% Haemaphysalis punctate ticks (3/34) were positive for TBEV RNA1 Dairy product transmission Not documented Table 2: TBE-reporting and vaccine prevention in Moldova Mandatory TBE reporting Not mandatory Other TBE-surveillance Not applicable Special clinical features Information not available Available vaccines Not applicable Vaccination recommendations and reimbursement No recommendations Vaccine uptake by age group/ risk group/ general population Data not available Name, address/website of TBE National Reference Center National Centre of Public Health of Moldova(Ministry of Health)http://cnsp.md/ (available only in local language) Burden of TBE in Moldova over time: no data available Age and gender distribution of TBE in Moldova: no data available TBEV-isolation and TBE cases in Moldova: no reported cases of TBE in the country Contact: wilhelm.erber@pfizer.com Citation: Erber W, Vuković-Janković T.
