[Prognosis in tick-borne encephalitis].

The paper presents a review of suggested and used methods of predicting the number of the main vector and its infection with the tick-borne encephalitis virus. It has been suggested that most practically important are long-term prognoses of tendencies in the changes of the parasitic system on the basis of retrospective estimation of the recurrence of its changes, that is, the definition of probability of recurrence of most important characters (states) of a parasitic system in the presence of appropriate external conditions.
