The Japanese encephalitis virus is a virus from the family Flaviviridae.

Signs and symptoms Japanese encephalitis has an incubation period of 5 to 15 days and the vast majority of infections are asymptomatic only 1 in 250 infections develop into encephalitis.

The number of deaths due to bacillary dysentery, encephalitis and measles rose in particular.

Add (cultures only) after Rabies virus , Rift Valley fever virus and Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus .

This transcriptomic study provides a hypothesis of neuroinflammation and a new lead in development of appropriate therapeutic against Japanese encephalitis.

Residents of rural areas in endemic locations are at highest risk Japanese encephalitis does not usually occur in urban areas.

Some strains of MHV cause a progressive demyelinating encephalitis in mice which has been used as a murine model for multiple sclerosis.

The natural hosts of the Japanese encephalitis virus are birds, not humans, and many believe the virus will therefore never be completely eliminated.

In addition, the spread and virulence of livestock diseases such as blue tongue, encephalitis, influenza, equine infectious anaemia, vesicular stomatitis and tick borne diseases may increase significantly in some areas.

The differential diagnosis in a case of suspected human rabies may initially include any cause of encephalitis, in particular infection with viruses such as herpesviruses, enteroviruses, and arboviruses such as West Nile virus.

Preliminary research suggests that global warming due to the greenhouse effect could increase the range and severity of human exposure to cholera, schistosomiasis, yellow fever, Rift Valley fever, arbovirus related encephalitis, river blindness, malaria and dengue fever.

The low percentage of immunized children was a consequence of the crises that followed the case of one child from Sarajevo who was infected with encephalitis after being administered a live vaccine of Australian origin distributed by UNICEF.

To respond efficiently to the rapid changes in health situations world wide, special vaccines against hepatitis B and Japanese encephalitis have already been incorporated into the existing schedule and the vaccine against hepatitis A will be added in the near future.
