INTRODUCTION
8
•JE is a zoonotic disease transmitted by mosquito
•Case-fatality rate among those with encephalitis can be as
high as 30%
•24 countries in the WHO South-East Asia and Western
Pacific regions have endemic JEV transmission
•There is no cure for the disease
History of JE
• 1870-Japan “Summer Encephalitis” epidemic
• 1924-Great epidemic in Japan ,case fatality 62%
• 1940 to 1954-Epidemic in China,Korea,India
• 1983-Immunization in human first started in Korea
• 2006 –JE vaccine introduced after campaign in endemic districts in
India
DISTRIBUTION OF JE IN INDIA
10
ICMR
•The disease is endemic in 21 states.
Assam, Bihar, Haryana. Uttar
Pradesh, Karnataka, West Bengal
and Tamil Nadu report out-breaks
every year and contribute about 80
per cent of cases and deaths
ASSAM HISTORY
• 1963-Serological evidence
• 1976- First epidemic in Upper Assam
• 1978- Virus isolation from Brain tissue at AMCH
• 1978, 1982, 1986 -Greater magnitude epidemic.
Most affected districts are Dibrugarh, Dhemaji,
Lakhimpur, Sivasagar, Jorhat, Golaghat, Tinsukia &
Sonitpur.

EPIDEMIOLOGY of Japanese Encephalitis
Agent
Family Flaviviridae
Genus Flavivirus (group B Arbovirus)
Genomes SS RNA
Serotypes Nakayama, Beijing
• Temperature- Destroyed by
heating for 30min above 56
degree.
• Chemical/Disinfectants-
Inactivated by common
detergents, 70% ethanol, 3-
8% formaldehyde, 2%
glutaraldehyde, 1% sodium
hypochlorite.
• Sensitive to UV light and
gamma irradiation.

Human host-
• Bimodal age

• Children & young adults
(<15years)- 85%
• Elderly (>60years)- 10%
• 1 clinical case suggests
300-1000 infections
Natural host

Ergot, heron
Enviroment
• Temperate- Late summer/early autumn
Tropical- Year round
• Endemic in temperate & tropical regions of
Asia.
• Epidemics- Paddy season (monsoon & post
monsoon)

Vector

Culicine mosquitoes-
Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Culex vishnui and
Culex pseudovishnui
Breed in water mainly in paddy fields, rice
cultivation, shallow ditches and pools.
Primarily outdoor resting in vegetation (exophilic)
and other shaded places but in summer may also
rest in indoors.
21
• Human to human transmission has not so far been
recorded Man is an incidental dead-end host
• Cattle and buffaloes may also be infected with the JE
virus; although they may not be natural hosts of JE
virus, they act as "mosquito attractants”
• 9-12 days incubation period, they can transmit the
virus to other hosts

MANAGEMENT OF
CASES
32
WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT TILL NOW………
• Viral infection
• Fever
• +Altered sensorium
HOW DO WE START MANAGEMENT-
• History
• Clinical examination (General & Systemic)
MANAGEMENT OF CASES
• Symptomatic and supportive
• Refer to nearest FRU if anyone develops- Lethargy,
Convulsions, Unconsciousness
• Refer to higher center directly if develops- Shock,
Needs ventilator, Unmanageable cyanosis.
• Suspected case referred should be confirmed with 2
diagnostic test-
1. RT-PCR
2. Detection of- virus ag/ genome.
34
Management
A, B, C, D
Referral note should include
history and clinal
examination findings….WHY
The treatment of the patients may require as follow:-
1.) Management of Airways and Breathing.
2.) Management of Circulation.
3.) Control of Convulsion and Intracranial pressure
4.) Control of Temperature
5.) Fluid and Electrolytes and Calories/ Nutrition
6.) General management
7.) Specific treatment of any for treatable cause
8.) Investigations, Sample Collection & Transportation
9.) Reporting of a case
10.) Rehabilitation.

Personal protective measures
• LLITBN- Pyrethroid
• Curtains
• Repellants
• Proper clothing
47
Control of Pig
• Immunization- Inactivated/ attenuated vaccines.
• Challenge- difficult to ensure complete coverage due to
rapid breeding & limited vaccine effectiveness.
• Slaughtering of pig
• Mosquito proof piggeries
• Segregating pigs 4-5km away from human habitations
48
Vaccination in human
• 3 types of vaccines-
1. Inactivated brain derived and purified type- Nakayama/ Beijing strain

3. Cell culture derived- Live attenuated- SA 14-14-2 strain
• Recommended for- Children, Laboratory staff, Travellers (Visiting >30days)
• Dose & Schedule-
0.5ml for <3years, 1ml for >3years.
2 dose 1 month apart
Booster- 1year, every 3rd
year till 15 years

• Periodicity of Reports-
I. Daily report- Outbreak situation
II. Weekly report- Transmission period
III. Monthly report- Inter-epidemic period.
• Forms-
I. AESF 1/1A- From states
II. AESF 2/2A- Districts
III. AESF 3- Line listing form
IV. AESF 4- Case investigation form

MORTALITY/
MORBIDITY
56
Swine High mortality in piglets.
Death rare in adult pigs.
Equine Morbidity- 2% during outbreak.
Mortality 5%(upto 30%)
Humans Mortality 5-35%. 20-40% but may reach
58% & over, higher in children.
Serious neurologic sequelae 33-50%.
