What is Japanese Encephalitis?
Japanese Encephalitis is a viral infection spread by mosquitoes, primarily in rural areas of Asia. It affects the brain and central nervous system, and while many infections are mild or asymptomatic, severe cases can cause:
Brain inflammation (encephalitis)
Seizures
Long-term neurological damage
Death (in approximately 1 in 3 severe cases)
There is no cure – only supportive treatment – making vaccination the most effective prevention.
Where is Japanese Encephalitis a Risk?
Japanese Encephalitis is found in over 20 countries in Asia and the Western Pacific, especially in rural, agricultural, or rice-farming areas where mosquitoes thrive.
Countries where Japanese Encephalitis vaccination is recommended:
India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh
Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia
Indonesia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste
China, Taiwan, South Korea, and parts of Japan
Northern Australia (rare but possible risk in far north Queensland)
The risk is seasonal, with outbreaks more likely during or after monsoon and wet seasons.
