Prevalence of japanese encephalitis and its modulation by weather variables
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a major public health problem in India. To study the influence of climatic factors on JE, cases and the transmitting mosquito species were analysed during 2001 to 2006. To know the status of Japanese encephalitis virus activity in human population, sero-epidemiological studies were undertaken in villages of Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh, India. Similarly, mosqui...
متن کاملThe Potential Use of Wolbachia-Based Mosquito Biocontrol Strategies for Japanese Encephalitis
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a zoonotic pathogen transmitted by the infectious bite of Culex mosquitoes. The virus causes the development of the disease Japanese encephalitis (JE) in a small proportion of those infected, predominantly affecting children in eastern and southern Asia. Annual JE incidence estimates range from 50,000-175,000, with 25%-30% of cases resulting in mortality. It...
متن کاملHost feeding pattern of Japanese encephalitis virus vector mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) from Kuttanadu, Kerala, India.
Identification of blood meals of vector mosquitoes is an important tool in the epidemiological investigations of vector-borne diseases. The blood meals of three mosquito species involved in the transmission of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) from the Kuttanadu area, Kerala, were determined using the agarose gel diffusion technique. A total of 4959 blood smears belonging to Culex (Culex) trita...
متن کاملEuropean Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens Are Competent Vectors for Japanese Encephalitis Virus
BACKGROUND Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is the causative agent of Japanese encephalitis, the leading cause of viral encephalitis in Asia. JEV transmission cycle involves mosquitoes and vertebrate hosts. The detection of JEV RNA in a pool of Culex pipiens caught in 2010 in Italy raised the concern of a putative emergence of the virus in Europe. We aimed to study the vector competence of Eur...
متن کاملVaccination Should be a Priority Approach for Japanese Encephalitis Prevention in Nepal
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a severe disease that is widespread throughout Asia and is spreading beyond its traditional habitat. JE is primarily a zoonotic disease infecting mainly vertebrate animals, e.g. pigs, birds, horses etc. Man is involved in transmission cycle as an incidental host and plays no role in perpetuating the virus. JE is principally a disease of rural agricultural areas, wh...
