Abstract
The virulence of genotype I (GI) Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is under debate. We investigated differences in the virulence of GI and GIII JEV by calculating asymptomatic ratios based on serologic studies during GI- and GIII-JEV endemic periods. The results suggested equal virulence of GI and GIII JEV among humans.
Highlights
The virulence of genotype I (GI) Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is under debate
We calculated the overall GI JEV– and genotype III (GIII) JEV–specific asymptomatic ratios by using the adjusted asymptomatic ratios of the 8 serum panels collected during the GI JEV– and GIII JEV–endemic periods (Figure)
The results showed that the incidence of JEV infection fluctuated over years and in different regions in Taiwan
