Overview
Pathophysiology
Japanese encephalitis virus is usually transmitted via mosquitos to the human host. Japanese encephalitis virus contains positive-sense viral RNA; this RNA has its genome directly utilized as if it were mRNA, producing a single protein which is modified by host and viral proteins to form the various proteins needed for replication. The following table is a summary of the Japanese encephalitis virus:[1]Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
