Research Status on the Japanese Encephalitis Virus in China
The Japanese encephalitis virus(JEV)was first isolated in China in 1940.Since then,Chinese scientists have isolated the JEV in specimens from patients suffering from JEV infection,various mosquito vector specimens and animal specimens.Herein,we detail research status of the JEV,including geographical distribution,mosquito vectors and the molecular genetic evolution of the JEV in China.We hope that our review can promote JEV research in China.
