Japanese Encephalitis (JE)

A disease spread through mosquito bites. Japanese encephalitis


(JE), is an infection of the brain caused by the mosquito-borne Japanese
encephalitis virus (JEV).
JEV is a virus from the family Flaviviridae, part of the Japanese encephalitis
serocomplex of 9 genetically and antigenically related viruses, some which are
particularly severe in horses, and four known to infect humans including West
Nile virus.
Domestic pigs and wild birds (especially herons) are reservoirs of the virus;
transmission to humans may cause severe symptoms. Amongst the most
important vectors of this disease are the mosquitoes Culex
tritaeniorhynchus and Culex vishnui. This disease is most prevalent in Southeast
Asia, South Asia and East Asia.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)


The body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. It can affect the
skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and other organs.
