According to recent reports, there are approximately 68,000 clinical cases of Japanese encephalitis globally each year resulting in over 20,000 deaths, primarily among children under 15 years of age. Major outbreaks of the mosquito-borne disease tend to occur every 2 to 15 years, intensifying during rainy seasons when vector populations increase. Over 375 million people in India are at risk of contracting Japanese encephalitis, mainly in rural agricultural areas where flooded irrigation is common. While the exact incubation period is unknown, symptoms generally develop within 5 to 15 days of infection, though many cases go unreported and result in inapparent infection. Prevention strategies include vaccination programs and vector control measures.
