Five virus strains with close serological relationship to the tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE) complex have been isolated from Ixodes ricinus ticks. The ticks were collected in early June 1976 at three different locations in Sogn & Fjordane County, Norway. One of the virus‐yielding pools was composed of ticks collected between the cabins on a tourist camping ground.
