- Usually used : Elisa test to detect specific IgM and IgGantibodies in serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
- Confirmation test by seroneutralisation test - TBEV qPCR to detect viral RNA
TBEV : Diagnosis
Phase I: viremic periodVirus in blood: qRT-PCR methodNo specific TBE antibodies
Incubation period
Phase II: neurological period!! Virus cleared from blood !!TBE specific antibodies: Elisa and RFFIT

Elisa test : Detection of IgM (human) and IgG (all species) anti-TBEV - Commercial test (Progen) - Samples: serum and CSF
NRC : TBEV diagnostic methods
Interpretation:
Use: screening
IgM = recent infectionIgG = older infection
or vaccination
Used for all human and animal samples
Confirmed by a seroneutralisation test

fluorescent microscope
NEUTRALISATION
!! This method allows distinction between different flaviviruses !!

RFFIT : Rapid Focus Fluorescent Inhibition Test (serum and CSF)
NRC : TBEV diagnostic methods
Interpretation:
Use: Confirmation of all positive and borderline Elisa results
DIL50 Interpretation
< 10 Negative
>10 Positive
13 microscopic fields are examined and the number of fluorescent positive fields are counted
DIL50 = the dilution at which 50% of the virus is neutralized

qRT-PCR : Reverse transcription real-time PCR- TBEV specific detection : Schwaiger et al, 2003- Samples : serum, CSF and brain
NRC : TBEV diagnostic methods
Principle:

Real-timePCR (Taqman probe)
Reverse transcription
Interpretation:

NRC activities: Seroprevalence in animals
Up to now in Belgium:
- Screening of the canine population by the Coda-Cerva (Roelandt et al, 2011). Detection of one confirmed TBEV positive dog (n = 880). This dog came from West Flanders and travelled in German Mosel region (2002) and Alsace (2003)
- Screening of roe deers in Southern Belgium (Linden et al, 2012). Twoconfirmed TBEV positive roe deers (n = 498). We do not know the exact region where these roe deers were collected.
Sentinel animal speciesRuminants (sheep - goat - cattle)Wildlife (roe deer, wildboar,…)Domestic animals (dog,…)
![Page 14: The activities of the TBEV National Reference Center meeting/meeting 20120911/BWDS gen… · 9TBEV diagnostic methods used in the laboratory (IgM and IgG Elisa, seroneutralisation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081410/6098aaef0f780f48f954796b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
- Cattle from Wallonia (n = 608)
- Roe deers from Flanders (n = 78)
- Wildboars from Flanders (n = 76)
Collaboration with the Coda-CervaResults: 12/450 (2,67%) positive in IgG - RFFIT
Collaboration with the Coda-CervaResults: All roe deers were negative
Collaboration with the Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos (ANB)Results: 2 positive in IgG Elisa (RFFIT to do)
