Japanese encephalitis virus in Australia: an ecological and epidemiological enigma

Description

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito‐borne flavivirus, is the most important vaccine‐preventable viral cause of human encephalitis in Asia. Five distinct genotypes of JEV are recognised (I–V). It is closely related to two Australian flaviviruses, Murray Valley encephalitis virus (MVEV) and the Kunjin strain of West Nile virus (WNVKUN).
