Japanese viral encephalitis [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2002
AbstractOne of the leading causes of acute encephalopathy in children in the tropics is Japanese encephalitis (JE). Transmitted by the culex mosquito, this neurotropic virus predominately affects the thalamus, anterior horns of the spinal cord, cerebral cortex, and cerebellum. It mainly affects children <15 years and is mostly asymptomatic.

The future of Japanese encephalitis vaccination: expert recommendations for achieving and maintaining optimal JE control

npj Vaccines, 2021
Vaccines against Japanese encephalitis (JE) have been available for decades. Currently, most JE-endemic countries have vaccination programs for their at-risk populations. Even so, JE remains the leading recognized cause of viral encephalitis in Asia.

Safety and dose-sparing effect of Japanese encephalitis vaccine administered by microneedle patch in uninfected, healthy adults (MNA-J): a randomised, partly blinded, active-controlled, phase 1 trial.

The Lancet Microbe, 2021
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether microneedle vaccinations of Japanese encephalitis virus can induce sufficient neutralising antibodies and reduce the amount of vaccine needed. We aimed to assess the safety and dose-sparing effect of a microneedle vaccine
