SUMMARY Japanese encephalitis (JE) has been found to be endemic in Bali, Indonesia. A case-control study was conducted to identify factors associated with JE infection. All 94 serologically confirmed JE cases (cases) and 163 cases of encephalitis or aseptic meningitis without JE (controls) identified in Bali during 2001–2004 were included in the study. Potential risk factors were surveyed at hospital admission. Univariate analyses revealed the following factors to be associated with JE: older…

Eco-epidemiological risk factors for Japanese encephalitis in the endemic region of North East India: a hospital-based case-control study

Age at onset, proximity to pigs, close proximity to paddy fields, impregnated mosquito nets, and mosquito repellent were the most significant risk factors for JE in the NE region to warrant public health actions.

Japanese Encephalitis (JE): Population at Risk and Strategies to Control in India -

Lack of convincing data on actual disease burden due to inappropriate diagnostic facilities and strong quality surveillance mechanism for the virus in India, some researchers has shown there concern to continue a national program to control a highly localized illness.

Japanese encephalitis in Bali, Indonesia: ecological and socio-cultural perspectives

A review was conducted to assess Japanese encephalitis virus-related cases in humans and animals including their determinants and detection in vectors, which highlighted local sociocultural practices for agriculture and livestock were potentially associated with the high density of the vector and the reservoirs, which may lead to the risk of the disease transmission in the ecology of Bali.

Comparison between the two outcome groups indicated that midbrain involvement and rapid deterioration were associated with severe neurological sequelae and vaccination for adults should be considered in response to the reemergence of JE.

An Epidemiological Study on Knowledge and Practice Regarding Japanese Encephalitis in a Rural Area with Recent JE/AES Outbreak

Low level of satisfactory knowledge and practice was identified among the study population and this study suggests that, health promotion and availability of preventive services & control measures should be improved by the authority and to give special attention to the population.

Incidence of Japanese Encephalitis Among Children is Associated with the Presence of Pigs in Bali, Indonesia

The presence of pigs still plays an important role in the JEV transmission cycle in Bali, as demonstrated by the high seroprevalence of JEV-IgG in pigs, and that pigs kept close to households and irrigated rice fields were risk factors for JE in B Indonesia.

An outbreak investigation was conducted during September-October 2016 to confirm the outbreak and identify possible risk factors, and found 12 feverish villagers, including two suspected cases.

Japanese encephalitis: Strategies for prevention and control in India

Evidence from surveillance data in some countries suggests that increase in vaccination coverage for JE does not necessarily correlate with decline in JE disease burden, and JE is likely to persist as a major public health problem in the developing world and impede their economic development unless it receives adequate attention from the global health community.

Expanding vaccine coverage, improving agricultural practices, generating public awareness, supporting for use of mosquito avoiding practices and regional collaboration at border against JE can be helpful in getting better control over it in future.
