Encephalitis virus is a term used to describe a type of virus that can cause inflammation in the brain. Encephalitis is a condition where the brain gets swollen and infected, and this virus is one of the possible causes.

«This novel method for saturating dried cerebrospinal fluid spots has the potential to enhance our knowledge of
Japanese encephalitis virus epidemiology, and inform health policies where they are most needed,» explains Dr. Tehmina Bharucha from LOMWRU and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
In 1990, Kanduke, a 25 - year - old male orca died suddenly at SeaWorld Orlando, the victim
of encephalitis virus carried by a mosquito.
By August of 1999 I'm doing research in emerging diseases at the University of California, Irvine, and I'm invited to a meeting in Albany, New York, where we learned about an outbreak of what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] said was St.
Louis encephalitis virus [SLE].
Published in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, they propose the use of pre-cut filter paper to store samples for detection of
anti-Japanese encephalitis virus antibodies from patient cerebrospinal fluid.
Neither virus causes fatalities in healthy people, but there are several other arboviral infections (
various encephalitis viruses, yellow fever, west Nile fever and Rift Valley fever) carried by the insect as well as a dog roundworm that also infects wild animals and cats.
Numerous experimental vaccines designed to ward off infections such as
Japanese encephalitis virus, herpes simplex virus, and B cell lymphoma, and even to counter cocaine addiction, are under evaluation.
An «imminent threat to public health» was declared in Suffolk County by the state Department of Health after the discovery of mosquitoes carrying Eastern
equine encephalitis virus, a rare but potentially fatal pathogen.
The research, published and featured in the Spot Light section of the December edition of the Journal of Virology, examines a previously unknown connection between flaviviruses — a classification of viruses that include West Nile virus, Dengue virus and tick - borne
encephalitis virus — and organelles (a specialized subunit within a cell) known as peroxisomes that help coordinate the body's immune responses.
Boars experimentally infected with the Japanese
encephalitis virus, for instance, shed the virus in their semen, and female pigs artificially inseminated with it become infected.
Jingmenviruses were first described in 2014 and are related to flaviviruses — a large family of viruses that includes human pathogens such as yellow fever, West Nile and Japanese
encephalitis viruses.
Every year as the days grow warmer, the Eastern equine
encephalitis virus (EEEV) reemerges along the eastern coast of the United States, where it causes devastating disease in horses and, more rarely, humans.
Japanese
encephalitis virus is one of the most common causative pathogens in Asia.
In Laos, laboratory diagnosis of Japanese
encephalitis virus is only available in the capital city of Vientiane.
To test whether Japanese
encephalitis virus could be successfully identified from the samples, the researchers carried out a retrospective analysis on cerebrospinal fluid for patients tested for the virus between 2009 — 2015 in Laos, with a total of 132 samples containing sufficient fluid volume for testing.
In addition, Kao said, the study showed that the Zika virus protein is similar in structure to proteins from viruses that cause dengue fever, West Nile virus, Japanese
encephalitis virus and hepatitis C, which prompted the team to test several compounds that combat those diseases.
The researchers note that both DNA and inactivated virus vaccines have been developed to prevent infection by West Nile, dengue and tick - borne
encephalitis viruses, all of which are in the same virus family as Zika.
Until now, it's been rather difficult to say for sure whether someone is suffering from dengue fever or whether they've contracted another flavivirus, such as yellow fever, West Nile virus or TBEV (tick - borne
encephalitis virus).
Everglades virus, a type of
encephalitis virus, is found in South Florida, said Burkett - Cadena, and Culex panocossa is known to transmit encephalitis viruses.
De Groot and her colleagues compared the genomes of a Japanese
encephalitis virus and a strain of West Nile virus that killed several people in New York in 1999.
Expansion of dengue virus, West Nile virus, and Kyasanur forest virus to the northern hemisphere, as well as the emergnce of new viruses (e.g., such as BYDV, Sitiawan virus [27], and Bagaza virus [18]-RRB- and re-emergence of yellow fever virus and Japanese
encephalitis virus, all indicate that flaviviruses can not be neglected.
Flaviviruses are single - stranded positive - sense RNA viruses classified in the Genus Flavivirus, Family Flaviviridae with over 70 serotype members [2], of which several important vector - borne viruses (especially those with a zoonotic nature, e.g., yellow fever virus, West Nile virus, Japanese
encephalitis virus, and tick - borne encephalitis virus) are members.
Because an egg - production drop is also observed in avian flocks during eastern equine
encephalitis virus (EEEV) infection [12], we chose a pair of primers specific for EEEV for RT - PCR.
Indeed, several succussful vaccines for flaviviruses have been developed and widely used (e.g., yellow fever virus and Japanese
encephalitis virus), so a vaccine for BYDV may be feasible.
Eastern equine
encephalitis virus (EEEV) is transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito, advises the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
It is recommended for the disinfection of inanimate objects to aid in control of canine distemper virus, equine influenza virus, transmissible gastroenteritis virus, hog cholera virus, parainfluenza - 3 virus, bovine rhinotracheitis virus, bovine viral diarrhea virus, infectious bronchitis virus, Newcastle virus, Venezuelan equine
encephalitis virus, equine rhinopneumonitis virus, feline rhinotracheitis virus, pseudorabies virus, equine arteritis virus and canine coronavirus.
Let's take a closer look at what clinical studies say about equine herpes, influenza and
encephalitis viruses, keeping in mind that very little research has been done on the effectiveness of titers to help prevent over-vaccination.
arbovirus any of various viruses transmitted by arthropods and including the causative agents of dengue fever, yellow fever, and some encephalitis
