“…1 Clinical manifestations of the disease in humans include fever, headache, tremors, vomiting, convulsions, and, in some cases, death; a significant fraction of survivors display lasting Parkinsonianlike neurologic deficits. 4 Clinical disease is particularly prevalent in children, although most persons in disease-endemic areas undergo subclinical infections during childhood. 5 The virus continues to spread to new areas previously not affected, including Australia and new regions in India, and there is concern for its incursion into the Americas and Europe.…”

Abstract. Ardeid birds and pigs are known as major amplifying hosts for Japanese encephalitis virus, and ducklings and chickens have been considered to play at best a minor role in outbreaks because of their low or absent viremia. We hypothesized that viremia of sufficient magnitude would develop in young ducklings (Anas platyrhynchos) and chicks (Gallus gallus) for them to serve as reservoir hosts and thereby contribute to the transmission cycle. Infection was associated with reduced weight gain in both species, and ducklings infected at 10 days of age or less showed overt clinical signs of disease. The mean peak viremia in birds of both species decreased as the age at infection increased from 2 to 42 days, indicating the importance of age of infection on magnitude of viremia in birds from both species, and suggesting that young poultry may be amplifying hosts of importance in disease-endemic regions.

Objectives: To study the safety profile of live JE vaccine. To analyse the possible risk factors for development of adverse events.Methods: 1500 children aged 1 year to 15 years, vaccinated with live JE vaccine during a mass vaccination campaign, were followed up for a period of 6 months from the time of vaccination. Outcome measures were major and minor adverse events during the first two weeks and any neurological events thereafter. Results:No serious adverse reactions were noted in the 1 st two weeks following vaccination. 22.3% reported minor events like fever, headache, upper respiratory symptoms, vomiting, rashes and local reactions. Those with a personal or family history of atopy showed an increased risk of adverse events. No significant correlation between age, sex, or nutritional status and risk for development of adverse events were noted. None of the vaccine recipients experienced any major neurological events within next 6 M. Conclusion:Live attenuated JE vaccine is safe in children below 15 years. Those with a history of atopy have a higher risk of developing minor adverse events following the vaccine.
