This chapter reviews some findings relating climate and the behavior in nature of some important tick-transmitted viruses, like the etiologic agents of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) and Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF). The chapter highlights that climate may be probably behind some of the recent (re) emergence of the reported active foci of the disease, driving the dynamics and the abundance patterns of ticks. It presents some findings related to other tick-transmitted viruses as associated with human disease. The chapter also presents nine additional tick-borne viruses, occasionally causing clinical disease in humans.
