It is presumed to have a multifactorial, heritable, autoimmune etiology. [2] The process is rapidly progressive, culminating in status epilepticus and ending fatally for the dog. [5]
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infectious disease involving the central nervous system. The disease most often manifests as meningitis, encephalitis or meningoencephalitis.
