Research progress on the epidemic characteristics and virus genotypes of Japanese encephalitis in China
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is an important arbovirus that continues to spread in China.Japanese encephalitis (JE) caused by JEV is one of the important public health problems in China.Over the years,despite significant control of JE in China,the geographical distribution of JE cases and the age structure of the affected population have changed due to ecological changes and vaccination.Moreover,JEV has evolved rapidly,and the dominant genotype has changed from GⅢ to GⅠ,which brings challenges to the prevention and control of JE.This paper reviewed the epidemic characteristics of JE and the genotypes of JEV in China,providing reference for the prevention and control of JE.
