Key Structure of Japanese Encephalitis Virus

Overview of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Structure The Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus (~11 kb genome) belonging to the Flaviviridae family, with an enveloped icosahedral structure. Genome Organization of Japanese Encephalitis Virus The genome encodes a single polyprotein (capsid C, precursor membrane prM/M, and envelope E) and seven non-structural proteins (NS1, […]

Life Cycle of Japanese Encephalitis Virus

Overview of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Life Cycle The life cycle of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) follows a zoonotic transmission cycle primarily involving mosquitoes as vectors, amplifying hosts like pigs, and reservoir hosts such as wading birds. Humans are the incidental dead-end hosts due to low viremia levels insufficient for mosquito transmission. Key Components of the […]

An Ancient History of Japanese Encephalitis Fever

Def:- JEV is an enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus that belongs to the genus Flavivirus (group-B arbovirus) within the family Flaviviridae. It is primarily transmitted to humans by the infective bite of Culex Vishnoi group mosquitoes, with pigs, horses, and water birds acting as important reservoir hosts. JEV causes inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) and […]

Transmission Cycle of  Chikungunya Virus 

CHIKV Transmission Cycle (Human-Aedes-Human-Aedes) The transmission cycle of Chikungunya fever primarily involves the bite of infected female Aedes mosquitoes, mainly Aedes aegypti & Aedes albopictus. This cycle circulates in two transmission ways: an enzootic sylvatic cycle in Africa and Asia involving forest mosquitoes and nonhuman primates (e.g., African monkeys, rodents, and birds act as amplification […]

Treatment of Dengue Fever

Prevention is better than cure. No drug or vaccine is available for the treatment of dengue/DHF. The control of the Aedes aegypti mosquito is the only method of choice. With early detection and proper case management and systematic treatment, mortality can be reduced substantially. Main Principles of Treatment Care for Severe Dengue Special Considerations Important […]
