This negatively-stained transmission electron micrograph (TEM) revealed the presence of numerous Russian spring-summer encephalitis (RSSE) virions, which are members of the virus family, Flaviviridae. RSSE is transmitted when one is bitten by a Ixodes persulcatus hard tick, and is therefore, referred to as a “tick-borne encephalitis” (TBE).
