Abstract
In 37 out of 613 (6%) residents of north eastern Poland, IgG antibodie s to tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) were detected at levels exce eding the diagnostic value of 60 VIEU/ml. The prevalence of the antibo dies was not related to sex or place or residence. However, significan tly higher antibody levels were found in the group of forest workers t han in individuals not professionally connected with forestry.
