Recent reports showed an unprecedentedly increasing prevalence of tick-borne diseases. This project aims to determine the prevalence of selected tick-borne microbes, identifying strain variations between TBEV-Eu, TBEV-Si, and TBEV-FE, isolate important gene information of TBEVs for diagnosis and treatment purpose, and examine the variation between Babesia spp. in Poland and Ethiopia.
