The objective of this study was to provide data on the risk of JEV exposure among U.S. Forces in the ROK. One thousand U.S. Army Soldiers were randomly selected for the study from the cohort of infantry Soldiers deployed in the ROK for a period of at least 330 days from 2008 to 2011. Pre- and post-deployment serum specimens were tested for the presence of JEV antibodies by plaque reduction neutralization test. A total of 2\/1,000 (0.2%) U.S. Army Soldiers post-deployment specimens tested positive for JEV antibody. Results from the pre-deployment specimens indicated one true seroconversion and one with titers suggestive of a JEV infection. These results indicate a low, but nonzero risk of JEV exposure among U.S. Army Soldiers in the ROK.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.15-0307","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,4]],"date-time":"2015-08-04T02:36:39Z","timestamp":1438655799000},"page":"1052-1054","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Seroconversion to Japanese Encephalitis Virus Among U.S. Infantry Forces in Korea"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Angelia A.","family":"Eick-Cost","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zheng","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Terry A.","family":"Klein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert J.","family":"Putnak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard G.","family":"Jarman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"MMWR Recomm Rep","first-page":"1","article-title":"Japanese encephalitis vaccines: recommendations of the advisory committee on immunization practices (ACIP)","volume":"59","author":"Fischer","year":"2010"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"PLoS One","first-page":"e55165","article-title":"Molecular detection and genotyping of Japanese encephalitis virus in mosquitoes during a 2010 outbreak in the Republic of Korea","volume":"8","author":"Seo","year":"2013"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"17","article-title":"Japanese encephalitis immunization in South Korea: past, present, and future","volume":"6","author":"Sohn","year":"2000"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Mil Med","first-page":"158","article-title":"Japanese encephalitis virus in culicine mosquitoes (diptera: Culicidae) of the Republic of Korea, 2008\u20132010","volume":"180","author":"Kim","year":"2015"},{"year":"2013","series-title":"Guidance on the Use of Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine","author":"The Assistant Secretary of Defense","key":"ref5"},{"year":"2015","series-title":"USFK reg 40-562 Immunization and Chemoprophylaxis","author":"United States Forces Korea","key":"ref6"},{"year":"2015","series-title":"Guidance on the Use of Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine","author":"Department of the Air Force","key":"ref7"},{"year":"2015","series-title":"USFK Reg. 40-7.
