| post-epidemic serological survey for je virus antibodies in south arcot district (tamil nadu). | following an extensive epidemic of japanese encephalitis (je) in 1981, a serological survey was carried out in the south arcot district of tamil nadu in april 1982. serum specimens were obtained from 10 villages with serologically proven infections and 6 villages with no reported case of encephalitis during the 1981 epidemic. the serum specimens tested for haemagglutination inhibition, complement fixing and neutralizing antibodies, showed a high prevalence of je (49.17%), west nile (40.78%) and ... | 1991 | 1850713 |
| a community-based study of subclinical flavivirus infections in children in an area of tamil nadu, india, where japanese encephalitis is endemic. | a characteristic feature of the epidemiology of japanese encephalitis (je) is the occurrence of a large number of subclinical infections. the reporting of only overt cases underestimates the total level of virus transmission, a knowledge of which is essential for the evolution of control strategies. we carried out a 3-year prospective serological study between 1989 and 1991 in a primary health centre in tamil nadu where je is endemic. each year paired specimens, taken before and after the transm ... | 1995 | 7743596 |
