What Is Japanese Encephalitis?
Japanese encephalitis is a viral infection transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito, mainly found in rural areas of Asia and the Western Pacific. The disease affects the brain and can lead to severe inflammation, causing neurological complications or even death. Travellers in regions where Japanese encephalitis is common, especially during the peak mosquito season, are at an increased risk of contracting the virus.
