Abstract

The paper describes estimating the tick-born encephalitis incidence rate by meteorological data using linear regression method. The study shows 2 models of TBE incidence. First one describes general dependency between temperatures and TBE incidence (1972-2004). The second one (1994-2004) tries to find out more specific characteristics.
