Download scientific diagram | Tick‐borne encephalitis virus and LIV transmission involves a complex ecology of reservoir species, ticks and indicator species that support tick populations. Small vertebrates including rodents, insectivores, and wild carnivores serve as amplifying reservoirs, developing high titer viremia and transmitting to ticks. Ticks transmit transstadially through egg, larvae, nymph, and adults, and transmit to a wide variety of vertebrate species. Large mammals such as deer and livestock maintain tick populations and are susceptible to disease, but do not transmit back to ticks due to low virus load, short duration of viremia or a combination of the 2. They are considered indicator species because they are valuable sentinel species for disease and antibody prevalence. Humans and horses are considered accidental hosts because they are not involved in sustaining transmission or feeding tick populations from publication: European College of Equine Internal Medicine consensus statement on equine flaviviridae infections in Europe | Horses and other equids can be infected with several viruses of the family Flaviviridae, belonging to the genus Flavivirus and Hepacivirus.
