An outbreak in 2005-2006 affected over 250,000 people on Réunion Island with 200 associated deaths. The virus is maintained in a mosquito-human transmission cycle and causes acute, self-limiting fever and arthralgia. There is no vaccine or antiviral treatment, so prevention focuses on eliminating mosquito breeding sites and limiting exposure to bites.
Japanese Encephalitis and Filariasis are mosquito-borne diseases. Japanese Encephalitis is caused by a flavivirus transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. It is a seasonal disease prevalent from May to October in rural areas of Asia and the Pacific. Filariasis is caused by nematode worms Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi transmitted by Culex and Mansonia mosquitoes. It is widespread in tropical areas and a major cause of disability. Both diseases are associated with poverty and lack of sanitation, as mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Control relies on integrated vector management including larval source reduction and insecticide spraying.
Yellow fever is an acute viral disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes. It causes fever, jaundice and can potentially progress to bleeding, organ failure and death. The virus is transmitted between monkeys, mosquitoes and humans. Prevention focuses on vaccination and mosquito control measures.
Arboviruses are viruses that can be transmitted to humans by arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks. There are approximately 80 known arboviruses that cause human disease. They are classified into families including Togaviridae, Flaviviridae, Bunyaviridae, Reoviridae, and Rhabdoviridae.

Japanese encephalitis is a mosquito-borne viral disease that is transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. It primarily affects children in rural Asia and is a major cause of viral encephalitis. The virus has a natural cycle between mosquitoes and pigs but can infect humans as well. There is no specific antiviral treatment, so prevention focuses on integrated vector control measures like larval source reduction and insecticide spraying, as well as vaccination in endemic areas. Vaccination provides good protection but must be maintained as immunity wanes over time.
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a mosquito-borne viral disease that is a major public health problem in Asia. The virus is transmitted in a zoonotic cycle between animals like pigs and birds, with humans becoming incidental hosts. Culex mosquitoes are the main vectors. India has high disease burden, with major outbreaks in northern states. Clinical symptoms range from mild flu-like illness to encephalitis with high fatality rate in children. Diagnosis is confirmed through serological tests or virus isolation from CSF. Control relies on vaccination and reducing mosquito breeding.
Rabies is a fatal viral disease affecting the central nervous system caused by the Lyssavirus. It is transmitted primarily through animal bites, especially from rabid dogs which account for 99% of human cases in India. There are three main forms - urban rabies transmitted by domestic dogs, wildlife rabies perpetuated by animals like jackals and foxes, and bat rabies spread by vampire bats. Symptoms include malaise, headache and pain at the bite site followed by neurological symptoms like fear of water and light, increased salivation and spasms. Diagnosis involves identifying a history of animal bite and detecting the virus. Treatment is supportive and vaccination is given as post-exposure prophylaxis. Nursing care focuses on
Rabies is a fatal viral disease transmitted through the bites of rabid animals like dogs, cats, and wildlife. The rabies virus affects the central nervous system. In India, most human rabies cases result from bites by rabid domestic dogs. The rabies virus is excreted in an animal's saliva and transmitted via bites or contact between saliva and open wounds or mucous membranes. After exposure, symptoms may take 1-3 months to appear. Once symptoms develop, rabies is nearly always fatal. Post-exposure prophylaxis, including wound cleansing, vaccine, and possibly immunoglobulin administration, must begin as soon as possible to prevent onset of the disease.
Mosquitoes can transmit diseases like West Nile virus, eastern equine encephalitis, and malaria. There are 63 mosquito species in Ohio, with females laying eggs on standing water that hatch into larvae. Larvae mature into adult mosquitoes that can fly up to 10 miles per day. To prevent disease transmission, individuals should eliminate standing water sources near their home, use insect repellent and protective clothing, and seek medical care if experiencing symptoms like fever and headache after being bitten in an endemic area. Mosquito control involves removing breeding habitats, applying larvicides to water sources, and in some cases, area spraying of adulticides.
Rabies is classified as a direct zoonosis transmitted through bites or licks. It is a fatal viral infection of the central nervous system caused by lyssavirus. Rabies remains a major public health problem globally, though some areas are considered rabies-free if there are no indigenous human or animal cases reported for over 2 years. Clinical features include hydrophobia and aerophobia. Post-exposure prophylaxis involves wound cleansing, rabies immunoglobulin, and a course of anti-rabies vaccination to prevent onset of symptoms. Control relies on dog vaccination, restraint, and elimination of stray animals.
1. Introduction
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito borne encephalitis caused by group B arbovirus (flavivirus) and transmitted by Culex mosquitoes.
It is a zoonotic disease,i.e. infecting mainly animals and incidentally man.
JE is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in asia and occurs in almost all Asian countries. Largely as a result of immunization, its incidence has been declining in japan, the Korean peninsula and in some regions of china, but the disease is increasingly reported from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, northern Thailand and Viet Nam.
World Encephalitis Day is celebrated on 22nd February every year by raising awareness about encephalitis.
2. Magnitude of problem
JE is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in Asia and occurs in almost all Asian countries.
Increasing no of cases are reported from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan ,Thailand and Vietnam.
Estimated 50,000 case occur globally each year, with 10,000 deaths and nearly 15,000 disabled.
About 85% cases are children of less than 15 years of age.
More than 3 billion people are at risk of developing the disease.
3. Global Scenario
Major epidemics were reported from Japan (1871 and 1924), northern Vietnam (1965), Thailand (1969, 1970), India (1973), Nepal (1978) and from Sri Lanka (1985-87).
At present, the geographic range of JEV infection extends from eastern to Southeast Asia and northern Australia, and to southern Asia.
However, it is likely to increase in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, North Korea, Pakistan, Philippines and other countries because of population growth, intensified rice farming, pig rearing, and the lack of vaccination programs and surveillance.
4. Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of Japanese encephalitis are:
Residents or military in Southeast Asia and Western Pacific regions
Summer season
Outdoor recreational activities
Accommodations in endemic areas that lack air conditioning, bed nets, or window screens
Contact with: Mosquitos, Birds , Pigs
5. Agent Factor
JEV is transmitted to humans through bites from infected mosquitoes of the Culex species (mainly Culex tritaeniorhynchus).
The virus exists in a transmission cycle between mosquitoes, pigs and/or water birds (enzootic cycle).
6. Host factor
Pigs and aquatic birds (mainly herons and egrets of the Ardeidae family) are the natural hosts for the virus.
Pigs are considered amplifying hosts since they allow manifold virus multiplication without suffering from disease and maintain prolonged viraemia .
In endemic areas, most people are infected below the age of 15 years.
In hyper – endemic areas, half of all Japanese encephalitis cases occur before the age of four years, and almost all before 10 years of age.
7. Mode of Transmission
JE virus is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Culex species mosquitoes, particularly Culex tritaeniorhynchus.
The virus is maintained in a cycle between mosquitoes and vertebrate hosts.
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a viral disease transmitted by Culex mosquitoes that infects humans and animals. It is a major public health problem in Asia, where an estimated 50,000 cases and 10,000 deaths occur annually. The virus is maintained in a cycle between mosquitoes and amplifying hosts like pigs and wading birds. Mosquitoes become infected by feeding on infected hosts and transmit the virus to humans and horses. The virus enters through the mosquito bite and travels to the brain, where it can cause neurological damage and symptoms ranging from fever and headache to convulsions and coma. Prevention strategies focus on mosquito control through spraying and reducing breeding habitats, as well as vaccines for humans.
A presentation delivered on the 15/3/2023 to the department of Paediatrics Delsuth which focused on emergency management, detailed and easy to understand.
Chikungunya is a viral disease transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. It causes fever and severe joint pain. While symptoms typically resolve within a week, joint pain can persist for months or years in some cases. There is no vaccine or specific treatment, so prevention through mosquito control is important.
Leptospirosis an emerging public health problem. I have give an overview and skipped Pathogenesis & Surviellance. Tried to keep it short & informative.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

1924: Great epidemic in Japan
-6125 human cases, 3797 deaths
1930’s: JE vaccines first became available
1935: Virus first isolated
-From a fatal human encephalitis case
1938: Virus first isolated from mosquito
7. DISTRIBUTION IN INDIA
Mainly in the rural agricultural
areas where flooding irrigation is
practised
Transmission is usually during
rainy season but can also occur
all round the year in tropical
areas
Highest incidence in states of:
Uttar Pradesh
Assam
Bihar
9. ABOUT THE VIRUS
Caused by Arbo Virus CLASS B
Genus: Flavivirus

Mol. Weight: 3x106 Dalton
Virion: spherical, lipoprotein
enveloped particles
40-50nm in diameter
3 structural and 7 non
structural proteins
10. RESISTANCE
Temperature: Destroyed by heating
above 56oC for 30 minutes
pH: Inactivated in acidic
environment pH 1-3
Survival: sensitive to UV light and
gamma irradiation
13. AMPLIFYING HOST
An amplifying host is a
host in which the level of
pathogen can become
high enough that
a vector that feeds on it
will probably become
infectious.
15. INCIDENTAL HOST
An incidental host is an
intermediate host that
generally does not allow
transmission of the virus,
thereby preventing the
parasite from completing
its development
They are also known as
16. VECTOR
• Culex tritaeniorhynchus is the
chief mosquito vector for JE
• Wide host range
• Oviposit in flooded fields
• Active during twilight
• Other species (ades,
anopheles, mansonia)
20. Manifestation of various neuronal symptoms
Virus proliferates and damages the neuronal tissue
Virus is transported to brain via blood
After multiplication in R.E. system, viremia ensues
Virus enters the body through the bite of mosquito
27. DIAGNOSIS
History
Brain tissue analysis
CSF analysis: moderately increased CSF
protein
Serological tests: JE specific IgM
28. TREATMENT
No antiviral drug for JE
has been found yet
Only supportive
treatment:
Suction-oxygen
IV fluids and mannitol
Anti convulsion
Inj. Paracetamol
29. JENVAC
JENVAC ® is a purified inactivated JE
vaccine
Prepared at National Institute of Virology,
Pune
2 doses of 0.5 ml at 28 days interval
Booster dose after 1 year
32. SANITARY PROPHYLAXIS
Housing of animals
indoors in screened
stabling
During JE outbreaks
During peak vector
activity
Aerial or ground
fogging with ULV
insecticides
33. MEDICAL PROPHYLAXIS
Vaccination of humans, horses and
pigs
Available under UIP in 112 endemic
districts of India
Travellers are needed to take
proper vaccination before visiting
the south east Asian countries
34. AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES
Adopt water management practices of paddy
cultivation by having a dry day in a week this will:
Conserve water
Reduce larval population
Increase rice grain yield
Reduce emission of methane
Using neem products as fertilizers.
35. ANIMAL RESERVOIR
Japanese encephalitis was
controlled in Japan by vaccinating
the pig population
All pig rearing practices must be
undertaken away from human
habitations
This kind of practice of pig
husbandry must be promoted (bank
loans)
36. VECTOR CONTROL
Eliminate mosquito breeding
areas
Adult and larva control: ULV
insecticides and PPM
Cover all water containers,
wells, water storage tanks
Use mosquito nets, coil
incenses mosquito repellents
