The JEV is mainly transmitted by\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Culex<\/jats:italic>\n                    mosquitoes breeding in flooded rice fields. The disease can range from mild flu-like symptoms to severe encephalitis and long-term neurological effects with potentially fatal outcomes with a 30% mortality rate. This review aims to gather information on JE\u2019s public health importance, JE epidemiology, history, vaccination strategies, and public health interventions in Asian countries. A systematic literature search was conducted across various databases, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, including publications up till 2024. Search terms included \u201cJapanese encephalitis\u201d, \u201cepidemiology\u201d, \u201coutbreaks\u201d, \u201cprevalence\u201d and \u201cprevention &amp; control\u201d. This review highlights the importance of comprehensive vaccination strategies and integrated vector management. Continued efforts are essential to enhance vaccination coverage and strengthen public health infrastructure to mitigate the burden of JE in Asia.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jvbd.jvbd_167_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,28]],"date-time":"2025-04-28T07:00:06Z","timestamp":1745823606000},"page":"398-407","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Japanese encephalitis in Asia: A comprehensive review"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Hewa Babarandage Chathurika","family":"Harshani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Institute, Colombo-08, Sri Lanka"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janaki I","family":"Abeynayake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Institute, Colombo-08, Sri Lanka"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,10]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"R2-20251215","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0009703","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0009703","article-title":"(2021).
