“…The overall TBEV seroprevalence found in wild boar and roe deer in the eastern departments (2.9% in wild boar and 0.3% in roe deer) was much lower than that found in TBEV endemic areas in Germany, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and the south of Sweden, varying from 10% to 40% [32,36,44,[66][67][68][69]. However, it was similar to the seroprevalences found in areas with the same epidemiological situation as eastern France, with no or very few human clinical cases: From 2% to 6% seropositive wild boar and roe deer have been reported in Belgium, in some areas of Germany, and in the south of Denmark [66,[70][71][72][73]. We did not find any significant difference in TBEV seroprevalence between wild boar and roe deer, which is consistent with previous observations [44,66,69,71,72].…”

“…The TBEV seroprevalence reported in roe deer in endemic areas in Europe ranges between 9 and 26% ( 35 , 64 ), with local maxima as high as 50% ( 65 ). In Wallonia, between 2007 and 2009, 12.4% roe deer were found seropositive with ELISA (including 2/5 highly reactive sera showing significant VNT titres) ( 66 ). For Flanders, we found weak positive titres, just above cut-off, in 5.1% of our sera.…”

“…In some cases, the addition of a pyramid for animals, that are neither a reservoir nor a host, but may serve as a sentinel for exposure, can be useful. Spill-over of tick-borne encephalitis virus, for example, has been revealed in dogs and deer in Belgium ( 11 , 12 ). Similarly, chickens may serve as sensitive sentinels for West Nile virus (WNV) without contributing to the virus transmission cycle.…”
