  • Title: Natural infection with Japanese encephalitis virus among inhabitants of Japan: a nationwide survey of antibodies against nonstructural 1 protein.
    Author: Konishi E, Shoda M, Yamamoto S, Arai S, Tanaka-Taya K, Okabe N.
    Journal: Vaccine; 2006 Apr 12; 24(16):3054-6. PubMed ID: 16460843.
    Abstract:
    In Japan, only a few cases of Japanese encephalitis presently occur annually, raising arguments about the necessity of vaccination. Here, using a novel immunoassay, we obtained natural infection rates for 2001 of 0.2-3.4% in eight selected prefectures across Japan. Our results provide direct evidence of the risk of reemergence.
