Japanese Encephalitis Virus
Hi, I'm Japanese Encephalitis Virus.I'm from Flaviviridae and an arborvirus.I'm big all over Asia.
I live around rice fields.
I hang around pigs and water birds there.Mosquitoes are my vectors.
That means they carry me from the animals to you.
My main job is giving you encephalitis.I can have life long consequences.
There is a vaccine against me.
Wow, this virus is very japanese-lady-like. Not something to be afraid of.
