초록

No human cases of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) have been reported in South Korea. We tested for TBE virus (TBEV)-IgM and -IgG in serum samples from healthy farmers during 2015-2018 using ELISA kits. Seroprevalence study revealed a 1.9 % prevalence of TBEV. A neutralizing test for TBEV-specific antibodies was not performed.
