Although recent reports of Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in Croatia belie the fact that this disease has been steadily declining for five decades, the impact of TBE in Croatia is comparable to that of the main form of arthropod-borne encephalitis in the United States. See graph

TBE was first reported in Croatia in 1953, and mandatory reporting was instituted in 1987. There is only one natural focus in the northern part of the country, between the Sava and Drava Rivers. Alleged cases in Zadar and Pula, have not been certified. 75% of cases occur from May to July.

Approximately 20 cases per year are reported in Koprivnica-Krizevci County, characterized by a relatively mild illness without neurological residua.

ProMED quoted GIDEON in this post:

there were at least 10 human cases in the Volga delta between
1963 & 1968, and that human seropositivity rates of up to 8 percent
were found in European Russia & Western Siberia (see ProMED post West
Nile virus - former Soviet Union: background 20060908.2548)

Quoted in ProMED:

Regarding recent cases in Afula, rates of West Nile fever in Israel have been strikingly similar to those of North America for the last 3 years. (See graph)
