Encephalitis Caused by Viruses

2002
Viral encephalitis is a general term used to define a heterogeneous group of quite benign diseases, although some may be devastating. The extremes of the spectrum are benign autolimited affections, such as lymphocitic meningoencephalitis, and rabies, which leads to death in 100% of the cases. Incidence is variable and diseases may occur occasionally or

West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis viruses

2014
Abstract West Nile virus (WNV) and St. Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) are arthropod-borne flaviviruses that belong to the Japanese encephalitis virus antigenic complex. SLEV transmission is limited to North and South America, whereas WNV infection occurs on six continents. WNV is now the most common cause of epidemic viral meningoencephalitis in the

Encephalitis in Children: Viruses and Beyond.

Mymensingh medical journal : MMJ, 2022
Encephalitis is commonly caused by viruses. But beyond viruses there are so many causes of encephalitis. Encephalitis is the inflammation of the brain parenchyma due to any reason. As there are so many causes of encephalitis presentations are also variable.

Genetic Study of Japanese Encephalitis Viruses from Vietnam

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1993
Two hundred eighty-five nucleotides from the capsid/premembrane gene region of 16 isolates of Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus from the southern and northern regions of Vietnam obtained during the period 1964-1988 were sequenced and compared with each other and with wild JE virus strains from China and Japan. The 16 Vietnamese isolates showed low rates

Vector Competence of California Mosquitoes for California Encephalitis and California Encephalitis-Like Viruses

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1992
Mosquitoes collected from coastal, inland valley, and alpine locations in California were evaluated for their experimental vector competence for two viruses in the California serogroup (Bunyaviridae:Bunyavirus). Aedes squamiger, a coastal salt marsh mosquito, was an efficient vector of a California encephalitis (CE)-like virus isolated from its habitat

Evolution of the Japanese Encephalitis Serocomplex Viruses

2002
Viruses in the Japanese encephalitis (JE) serocomplex, are geographically widely dispersed. They display a variety of epidemiological and ecological characteristics that depend largely on the vertebrate and invertebrate hosts with which they have become associated following divergence and dispersal from their presumed African or Asian ancestors.

COMPARISON OF PROTEINS SPECIFIED BY MURRAY VALLEY ENCEPHALITIS, WEST NILE, JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS AND ST. LOUIS ENCEPHALITIS VIRUSES

Australian Journal of Experimental Biology and Medical Science, 1986
SummaryThe relationships among proteins specified by Murray Valley encephalitis (MVE), West Nile (WN), Japanese encephalitis (JE) and St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) viruses were examined by peptide mapping. [3H]methionine‐labelled tryptic peptides of viral proteins were separated by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the ...

Host Genetic Resistance to Japanese Encephalitis Group Viruses

2002
The host response to pathogenic infectious agents consists of a complex interaction between innate resistance mechanisms, non-specific immunity and specific adaptive immunity. These three protective mechanisms are regulated by host genes (Table 1). Because of their suitability for experimentation, mice have provided much of the evidence for the genetic

Antigenic properties of California encephalitis viruses

2012
The kinetics of inactivation by antiserum of several strains of California encephalitis virus were examined by the technique of plaque reduction. The antisera employed were obtained from rabbits following multiple injections of virus strains propagated in the brain tissues of suckling mice.

Viruses of the California Encephalitis Complex in Indicator Rabbits

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1966
Summary Prior evidence that California encephalitis (CE) virus exists in Canada was based on serologic tests of wild animals. In this study it was found that indicator rabbits, caged in the Richmond, Ontario, area where seropositive wild animals previously had been trapped, developed neutralizing antibody to this virus as early as June 10 in 1962 and ...
