CDC Health Topics Arboviruses Eastern equine encephalitis EEE is a rare disease, but can occur in humans and horses. In North Carolina, it is more common in the eastern part of the state than in other areas. The viral illness, transmitted by some species of mosquitoes, attacks the central nervous system, causes inflammation of the brain and can be fatal to animals and humans. Wild birds serve as reservoirs for the virus. Mosquitoes bite the birds and then can transmit the virus to humans and animals. North Carolina averages about one human case of EEE each year. About fifty percent of human EEE cases are fatal, with young children and the elderly most at risk. Symptoms can develop from a few days to two weeks after being bitten by an infected mosquito. They include rapid onset of fever and headache and can resemble a case of the flu. Survivors of EEE infections may suffer from long-term effects to the nervous system. Therapy is limited to treating the symptoms of the disease, but there is no specific cure. There is a vaccine for horses but not for humans. The best defense against EEE infection is to avoid mosquito bites. Reduce time spent outdoors, particularly in early morning and early evening hours when mosquitoes are most active; wear light-colored long pants and long-sleeved shirts; and apply

CDC Health Topics Arboviruses La Crosse encephalitis La Crosse is the most common arbovirus affecting North Carolinians. It is found predominantly in the western part of the state. Symptoms occur from a few days to a couple of weeks after being bitten by an infected mosquito. These symptoms include fever, headache, nausea and vomiting. In more severe cases, convulsions, tremors and coma can occur. Children under 16 years of age and the elderly are the most susceptible to the disease. There are, on average, 70 cases of La Crosse virus annually in America. In 2002, North Carolina had 20 cases of La Crosse. La Crosse is rarely fatal, although a Transylvania County girl died from the disease in 2001. The best defense against LAC infection is to avoid mosquito bites. Reduce time spent outdoors, particularly in early morning and early evening hours when mosquitoes are most active; wear light-colored long pants and long-sleeved shirts; and apply mosquito repellent to exposed skin areas.

Encephalitis (Post-infectious) What is encephalitis? Encephalitis means inflammation of the brain. It can occur as a primary illness or as a consequence of another illness. Encephalitis is a rare disease. What causes encephalitis? Primary encephalitis is an illness in which an infectious agent, such as a bacteria or virus, directly invades the central nervous system (brain). The illness is often carried to humans from mosquitoes and ticks. For more information on primary encephalitis, see your health department for a Fact Sheet on Arboviral Infections. Post-infectious encephalitis is also a disease of the central nervous system, but it usually occurs as a rare complication of a viral illness or as a consequence of receiving some vaccines. Post-infectious encephalitis most commonly follows a bout of chickenpox, mumps, or measles, or vaccination against measles. What are the symptoms of encephalitis? Encephalitis frequently presents with headache, fever, stiffness of the neck, and change in consciousness, ranging from sleepiness to confusion to unconsciousness. How soon after exposure do symptoms appear?

Links SITE SEARCH: SEARCH Japanese Encephalitis Japanese encephalitis is a potentially fatal viral disease transmitted by mosquitos, that occurs mainly in China, Korea, India, parts of Bangladesh, southern Nepal and Sri Lanka, and the southeast Asian countries of Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Most infections occur in rural, agricultural areas around flooded rice fields and pools of water. Transmission is usually following the season where mosquitoes are in abundance. Mosquitoes carrying Japanese encephalitis are most active during the hours between dusk and dawn. The chance that a traveler will be infected with Japanese encephalitis is very small, however, the illness can progress to a serious infection in the brain and lead to death. Symptoms Mild infections occur without apparent symptoms other than fever with headache. More sever infection is marked by a quick onset, headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, occasional convulsions (especially in infants) and paralysis. JE-Vax JE-Vax is the vaccine for Japanese Encephalitis. Three doses of the vaccine are recommended. The last dose should be given 10 days prior to travel to ensure adequate immune response.

Literature Cited ABSTRACT KEY WORDS: Encephalitis; tickborne; Tickborne diseases; Temperature; Climate; Ticks. INTRODUCTION Climatic changes are expected to have an impact on the incidence, seasonal range, and geographical distribution of several vector-borne diseases in humans, including malaria, dengue fever, lymphatic filariasis, and several arboviruses (Levins et al. 1994, Matsuoka and Kai 1994, Reeves et al. 1994, Martens et al. 1995, 1997, Martin and Lefebvre 1995, IPCC 1996 a, McMichael et al. 1996, Patz et al. 1996). b ). The magnitude of alterations in temperature and precipitation patterns will differ regionally. The largest increases in surface temperatures are predicted to occur at high northern latitudes (Maskell et al. 1993, IPCC1996 b Changes in the macro- and microclimate may influence transmission of Lyme disease and TBE through impact on the life cycle dynamics of the tick, the tick habitat, and the host animals, as well as through changes in human behavior and human-vector-host animal interactions (Cederlund 1981, Dobson and Carper 1993, Jaenson et al. 1994, Kaiser 1995, Lindsay et al. 1995) (Fig. 1).

Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine (JE-VAX) Vaccination during pregnancy Immunization schedule ... Reactions What is Japanese Encephalitis? Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is a mosquito-borne arboviral infection and is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in Asia. It is transmitted in a cycle between Culex mosquitoes and certain animals (chiefly domesticated pigs and wading birds); humans are an incidental host. Risk for acquiring JE among most travelers to Asia is extremely low; however, the risk of transmission is higher in rural areas, especially where pigs are raised and where rice paddies, marshes and standing pools of water provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes and feed for birds. Risk for an individual traveler is highly variable and depends on factors such as the season, locations and duration of travel, and activities of the traveler. Infections with JE lead to encephalitis in only 1 of 300 cases, with a fatality rate of 25% and neuropsychiatric sequelae in 30% of cases. Limited data indicate that JE acquired during the first or second trimesters of pregnancy causes intrauterine infection and miscarriage. Infections during the third trimester of pregnancy have not been associated with adverse outcomes in newborns. Advanced age may also be a risk factor for developing symptomatic illness after JE infection.

What is encephalitis? Encephalitis is a medical term that refers to an inflammation of the brain . Two closely related terms are encephalomyelitis, which refers to an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, and meningoencephalitis, which refers to an inflammation of the brain and the meninges (the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord). Encephalitis can be caused by a number of viruses, bacteria and poisons (such as lead). Primary encephalitis describes the situation where the cause of the encephalitis is known and is believed to be responsible for the patient's symptoms. Post-infectious encephalitis is also known as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. This describes a situation where the patient has recovered recently from an illness, and develops encephalitis at a subsequent date.

Subscribe now >> The Facts about Encephalitis Infections in the brain and spinal cord can cause dangerous inflammation. This inflammation can produce a wide range of symptoms, including fever, headache, or confusion, and in extreme cases, can cause brain damage, stroke, seizures, or even death. Inflammation of the brain is called encephalitis. Myelitis is an infection of the spinal cord. When both the brain and the spinal cord become inflamed, the condition is called encephalomyelitis. Causes Encephalitis can be caused by bacterial infection and, most often, viral infections. Usually, the body's immune system is able to contain and defeat an infection. But if the infection passes into the blood stream and then into the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, it can affect the nerves and travel to the brain, causing inflammation. This swelling can harm or destroy nerve cells and cause bleeding in the brain. Several thousand cases of encephalitis are reported each year, but many more may actually occur since the symptoms may be mild to non-existent in most patients.
