title: [Vergina-like strains of tick-borne encephalitis in Russia].
abstract: The Greek strain Vergina representing an individual third serotype of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus has been compared with 13 TBE strains isolated on the territory of Russia and Central Asia (in Kirghizia). A kit of deoxyoligonucleotide probes complementary to genome sites of Neudorfle strain of the TBE Central European subtype (protein C and prM genes) and of strain Sofyin of the Eastern subtype (protein E, C, M, prM, ns 1, ns 2b, ns 4b genes) was used in molecular hybridization of nucleic acids. Vergina strain was referred to the genetic variant VI prevalent in the western part of the East European plain, in Udmurtia, in the Altai mountains, and in West Siberia. By its antigenic properties Vergina strain is most close to strain Yar-90 isolated in the Yaroslavl district from Ixodes persulcatus ticks.
