INTRODUCTION
 Japanese Encephalitis is an arboviral infection of
horses, pigs, birds and humans caused by mosquito
borne Japanese Encephalitis Virus(JEV)
Why the
name ARBO
???ARTHROPOD
BORNE
HISTORY
 1871: 1st case of JE
 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
GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION
India
Bangladesh
Philippines
Pakistan
China
Japan
Sri Lanka
Thailand
Vietnam
Republic of Korea
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
ETIOLOGY
ABOUT THE VIRUS
 Caused by Arbo Virus CLASS B
 Genus: Flavivirus
 Genome: ss RNA
 Mol. Weight: 3x106 Dalton
 Virion: spherical, lipoprotein
enveloped particles
40-50nm in diameter
3 structural and 7 non
structural proteins
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
TRANSMISSION
HOSTS AND VECTORS
 Amplifying host: Pig
 Reservoir host: Ardeid birds (heron, erget)
 Incidental host: Human, horse, donkey
 Vector: Mosquito (Culex tritaeniorhynchus)
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.
RESERVOIR HOST
A reservoir host can
harbour a pathogen
indefinitely with no ill
effects
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
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)
ENVIRONMENT
 Flooded fields
 Fish ponds
 Rice paddy
 Ditches

PATHOGENESIS
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
CLINICAL FEATURES
Prodermal stage
Acute encephalitic
stage
Late stage
Sequale
PRODERMAL STAGE
 Lasts for 1-6 days
 Fever, Rigor
 Headache
 GI problems
 Lethargy
 Malaise
ACUTE ENCEPHALITIC STAGE
 Convulsions
 Altered sensorium,
unconsciousness, coma
 Tremor
 Abnormal movement of
limbs
 Mask like face
 Stiff neck
 Muscular rigidity
LATE STAGE
 Mental impairment
 Increased deep tendon reflex
 Epilepsy
 Speech impairment
 Behaviour abnormalities
PATHOLOGICAL FEATURES
 Perivascular chronic
inflammation
 Microglial nodules
 Neuronophagia
 Neutrophilic
inflammatory filtrate
Bilateral Thalamic
Hemorrhage
DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
DIAGNOSIS
 History
 Brain tissue analysis
 CSF analysis: moderately increased CSF
protein
 Serological tests: JE specific IgM
TREATMENT
 No antiviral drug for JE
has been found yet
 Only supportive
treatment:
 Suction-oxygen
IV fluids and mannitol
Anti convulsion
Inj. Paracetamol
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
PREVENTION AND CONTROL
SANITARY PROPHYLAXIS
 Housing of animals
indoors in screened
stabling
 During JE outbreaks
 During peak vector
activity
 Aerial or ground
fogging with ULV
insecticides
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
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.
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)
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
Japanese Encephalitis
In ODISHA
CASE SENARIO IN ODISHA
 Most affected district : Malkangiri
 1st JE death – 8th Sept 2016
 Death toll reached more than 130
Now Odisha has been added to the list
of JE high burden state [23rd Nov 2016]
CAUSE
 More faith in tantriks than doctors
 Low availability of doctor
