    Abstract:
    Agar gel precipitation test with cross-adsorbed immune sera was used for the antigenic differentiation of strains of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). Fifty strains of the Far East TBEV serotype and 46 strains of the Siberian (Aina) TBEV serotype were isolated from Ixodes persulcatus, which is the main vector of the above TBEV subtypes in the Asian and European parts of Russia. The fragment of the envelope protein gene was sequenced for TBEV strains. Sequences of new-group strains of the Siberian subtypes isolated from 3 patients with chronic TBE and from brain tissues of 4 deceased patients were determined. Lethal TBE outcomes were registered in Siberia (Irkutsk Region and Krasnoyarsk Territory) and in Russia's European part (Yaroslavl Region).
