| epidemiological features of japanese encephalitis in taiwan from 2000 to 2014. | the incidence of japanese encephalitis (je) decreased sharply after the national vaccination program was implemented in taiwan in 1968. however, cases of je still occur. the purpose of this study was to assess the epidemiology and vaccination policy for je in taiwan. we analyzed the data on je cases reported to the taiwan centers for disease control (taiwan cdc) between 2000 and 2014. during the 15-year study period, a total of 4,474 cases were reported to the taiwan cdc. of these, 379 (8.5%) we ... | 2017 | 27821699 |

| japanese encephalitis surveillance in china (province of taiwan) during 1968-1971. ii. age-secific incidence in connection with japanese encephalitis vaccination program. | a baseline age/morbidity pattern for japanese encephalitis (je) epidemic in china (province of taiwan) in the 1960s was sought in je surveillance. the pattern is characterized by: (1) high incidence in age groups 2-4 years, (2) moderately high incidence in age groups 5-7 years, (3) negligible incidence in children under 1 year of age as well as in adults, and (4) the variability of relative height of peak incidence co-incident with the je-epidemic size in situ. concurrently with surveillance, a ... | 2004 | 180320 |

| comparative epidemiological features of japanese encephalitis in the republic of korea, china (taiwan) and japan. | the epidemiology of japanese encephalitis in the republic of korea from 1949 to 1966 is described and comparisons are made with the situations in japan and china (taiwan). some similarities and some differences are noted. recent epidemics in korea coincided with those in southern japan but the annual fluctuations were more distinct in korea. the disease mainly affected children in korea and, in contrast to the situation in japan, persons in the older age-groups were rarely affected. the authors ... | 1969 | 4308334 |
