| japanese encephalitis in thai children, bangkok, thailand. | during a period of 5 years from may 1979 to april 1984, 121 encephalitis patients were admitted to bangkok children's hospital. 79 were proved to be je. 73.42% of je patients came from outside bangkok while the rest came from suburban areas of bangkok. no distinction could be made between je and encephalitis caused by other agents by clinical data and cerebrospinal fluid examination. definite diagnosis of je could be done by demonstration of specific igm antibody against jev in cerebrospinal flu ... | 1985 | 2992099 |
| response to je vaccine among hiv-infected children, bangkok, thailand. | since 1990, japanese encephalitis (je) vaccine has been part of epi in northern thailand, where there is a high prevalence of je and hiv infection. to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of je vaccine among hiv-infected children, we conducted a retrospective study of hiv-infected and uninfected children who received 2 doses of je vaccine at 12 months of age. pre- and post-immunization plasma specimens were tested by plaque reduction neutralization for antibody levels to je and dengue(1-4) vir ... | 1998 | 10437937 |
| viral etiologies of encephalitis in thai children. | a prospective study of childhood encephalitis was performed in bangkok from 1996 through 1998. the viral agents identifiable in 26 (65%) of 40 children were dengue virus (8), japanese encephalitis (6), herpes simplex virus (4), human herpes virus type 6 (3), mumps (2), enterovirus (1), varicella-zoster virus (vzv) (1) and rabies (1). | 2001 | 11224846 |

| a longitudinal study of japanese encephalitis in suburban bangkok, thailand. | a one-year study of japanese encephalitis (je) in a small focus of transmission was conducted in suburban bangkok in 1985. monthly data were collected on weather, vector density, sentinel pig and chick je antibody seroconversions, and epidemiology as related to human je cases. the primary vector species were found to be culex gelidus and culex tritaeniorhynchus; from which one isolate each was obtained in march and june, respectively. pig je antibody seroconversion peaked in april (the hottest m ... | 1987 | 2896391 |
| vectors of japanese encephalitis virus (jev): species complexes of the vectors. | the vectors of jev are cx. tritaeniorhynchus, cx. vishnui, cx. pseudovishnui, cx. gelidus, cx. fuscocephala, cx. quinquefasciatus, cx. pipiens pallens, cx. bitaeniorhynchus, cx. annulirostris, aedes togoi, ae. japonicus, ae. vexans nipponii, anopheles annularis and an. vagus. cx. tritaeniorhynchus is in the tritaeniorhynchus complex, breeds in rice fields, ground pools in vast areas. two types of mating behavior, eurygamy and moderate stenogamy were detected. in the case of the eurygamy type, th ... | 1989 | 2576966 |
| japanese encephalitis virus in bangkok: factors influencing vector infections in three suburban communities. | an unexpected outbreak of japanese encephalitis (je) in bangkok in 1985 led us to investigate the vector ecology of urban je from january 1986 to june 1987 at three suburban sites that displayed a wide range of factors imputed to influence je transmission. culex tritaeniorhynchus giles and cx. gelidus theobald, suspected vectors, comprised 71-96% of all mosquitoes collected by co2-baited cdc traps at the three sites. mean of mosquito abundance per two trap-nights per month ranged from 28 to 5,72 ... | 1992 | 1320699 |
| new initiatives for the control of japanese encephalitis by vaccination: minutes of a who/cvi meeting, bangkok, thailand, 13-15 october 1998. | japanese encephalitis (je) is a leading cause of viral encephalitis in asia that, in several countries, has been controlled effectively through national vaccine programs. however, in recent years, transmission has been recognized or has intensified in new locations where the available vaccines are either unaffordable or unlicensed. in addition, the near-eradication of poliomyelitis from asia has elevated je in the public health agenda of preventable childhood diseases, and surveillance of acute ... | 2000 | 10821969 |
| mosquito distribution and japanese encephalitis virus infection in the immigration bird (asian open-billed stork) nested area in pathum thani province, central thailand. | japanese encephalitis virus infection is a mosquito-borne emerging or re-emerging infectious disease in several countries. the ecology of this virus in nature includes amplifying avian or mammal hosts and mosquito vectors. infected immigration birds from epidemic areas may play important roles in the outbreak of the disease. the prevalence is high during the raining season in thailand and human cases have been reported from several provinces including bangkok suburbs. this study was conducted to ... | 2010 | 20155371 |
