The short Informative Communication about JE Virus: Flavivirus

Abstract

The Japanese encephalitis virus (JE) is a 'Flavivirus' linked to the West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis viruses. The bites of ill or unclean culex mosquitos carry this infection. This virus is mainly common in rural agricultural areas. Problems such as psychological status changes, neurological symptoms, weakness, headache, and vomiting often emerge throughout their incubation period of 5-15 days. To avoid mosquito bites, use EPA-registered insect repellent, full-sleeved clothing for new-born’s and children, a net inside and outside to protect yourself and your family from mosquito bites, and spray insect repellent. Follow the product's labelled instructions. There is no particular therapy offered; instead, just supportive care is given. It is avoidable with the JE vaccine, which is sold under the brand name IXIARO in the United States.
