- The importation, possession, or use of this agent is restricted
by USDA regulation or administrative policy.
- Central European Tick Borne Encephalitis virus (CETBE)
is not a registered name in The International Catalogue
of Arboviruses-1985. Until the registration issue has
been resolved taxonomically, CETBE refers to the following
group of very closely related, if not essentially identical,
tick-borne flaviviruses isolated from Czechoslovakia, Finland
and Russia: Absettarov, Hanzalova, Hypr, and Kumlinge. These
four viruses are antigenically homogeneous and are distinguishable
from Russian Spring-Summer encephalitis (RSSE) virus. While
there is a vaccine available which confers immunity to the
CETBE group of genetically (>98%) homogeneous viruses,
the efficacy of this vaccine against RSSE virus infections
has not been established. Thus, SALS has reclassified the
CETBE group of viruses as Biosafety Level 3 when personnel
are immunized with CETBE vaccine. RSSE remains classified
as a Biosafety Level 4 virus.
- Subcommittee on Arbovirus Laboratory Safety (SALS) recommends
that work with this agent should be conducted only in Biosafety
Level 3 facilities that provide for HEPA filtration of all
exhaust air prior to discharge from the laboratory.
- A vaccine is available and is recommended for all persons
working with this agent.
- This virus is presently being registered in the Catalogue
of Arboviruses.
- Scientists from the People's Republic of China have verbally
reported Banna virus to be associated with severe human
cases of encephalitis. Translations of the original publications
from Chinese into English were not available for this revision.
- Zinga virus is now recognized as being identical to Rift
Valley Fever virus.
- Export permit required from Department of Commerce.
- An importation or domestic transfer permit for this agent
can be obtained from USDA/APHIS/VS.
