Japanese Encephalitis Virus

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a virus that belongs to the genus Flavivirus of the Togavirus family. It is one of the most dangerous and common viruses that causes encephalitis.

VJEV is an arboviral virus, meaning it is transmitted through mosquito bites. It belongs to the arbovirus group, which includes other dangerous viruses such as West Nile virus and Chikungunya virus.

Antigenic group VJEV belongs to antigenic group B, which means that it shares antigens with other viruses that also belong to this group. This can be important in diagnosing and treating the disease, as it helps determine which drugs may be effective.

The causative agent of VJE causes the disease of the same name, which is a very serious disease. It can lead to serious neurological complications such as paralysis, vision loss and other serious problems.

Although VJE occurs in different parts of the world, it is particularly common in Japan, China and Korea. JEV is transmitted by mosquitoes, which can be found in various regions of the world.

To prevent VJE, it is recommended to use mosquito repellent, avoid being in open areas where mosquitoes may fly, and wear protective clothing such as long sleeves and pants. It is also important to get regular medical checkups and report any symptoms to your doctors.

If you are in an area where VJEV is common, you should take precautions to avoid infection. This includes wearing protective clothing, repellents, and avoiding areas where there is a chance of exposure to mosquitoes. If you suspect you may have been infected with VJE, you should see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.



Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is one of the most common human transmissible agents, which is a flavivirus that infects (absolutely resistant to the human body) the only infectious type of vertebrates, other mammals (partially) and birds. Previously called Sanguinivirus. The causative agent of the human infectious disease of the same name is Dengue-Kehns encephalitis (from the Latin Dengue major or Dengue hemorrhagic fever, abbreviated DHF). It is best known for the concurrent disorder of the Denge-Venga serotype.
