The aim of the present study was to analyse the current epidemiological situation with respect to TBE in the new federal "Länder" of Germany and in Saarland through detection of the TBEV genome in unengorged ticks using an RT-PCR technique. 22,273 ticks (Ixodes ricinus) were collected in the five new "Länder" (and some in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg) and divided into 294 pools. It was possible to detect TBEV RNA in six pools of ticks from Mecklenburg Western-Pomerania [4], Brandenburg [1], Thuringia [1] (and in three pools from Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg). The nucleotide sequence data of the PCR products were analysed and compared. In Saarland 8,780 ticks were collected in 70 habitats from all the geographic regions and analysed using the PCR in 21 pools; two pools produced positive PCR signals (Saarlouis, Perl). We cannot as a result make a general recommendation that TBE-immunization be introduced in Saarland and in the new federal Länder of Germany. In Germany, however, TBE immunoprophylaxis in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg is very important.
