چکیده
There is an error in the tenth sentence of the Abstract. The correct sentence is: In addition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were conducted to determine recent viral infections and 12 (1.3%) subjects were found to have been recently infected by the virus. There is an error in the first sentence of the “Recent infection to Japanese encephalitis virus” section of the Results. The correct sentence is: Among the 945 subjects enrolled in this study, 12 (1.3%, 95% confidence interval: 0.7–2.2%) were IgM-positive for at least one of the two ELISA kits, which indicated a recent viral infection (Table 6). There is an error in the first sentence of the fourth paragraph of the Discussion. The correct sentence is: Recent infections were detected in 12 (1.3%) of 945 subjects using commercially available ELISA kits; nine of the sera were collected between January and June in five provinces.
