The member of the genus Flavivirus family Flaviviridae are arthropod-transmitted viruses. This genus includes vector-borne neurotropic viruses such as the tick-borne encephalitis virus serocomplex and the Japanese encephalitis virus serocomplex. Flavivirus encephalitis is the generic term for encephalitis caused by viruses belonging to this genus. The Japanese encephalitis virus is still active in Japan, and the tick-borne encephalitis virus is prevalent in Hokkaido, the northern region of Japan. The West Nile fever/encephalitis epidemic has been active in North and South America since 1999.

Encephalitis by Epstein Barr Virus in a Transplant Immunosuppressed Patient.
Rev Med Chil
November 2024
Laboratorio de Biología Molecular, Hospital Base de Valdivia, Valdivia, Chile.
Encephalitis due to Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a rare condition that primarily affects children and immunosuppressed patients. Diagnosing EBV encephalitis can be challenging due to its nonspecific clinical presentation and the lack of confirmatory tests. We present the case of a 66-year-old woman with a history of kidney transplantation who was admitted due to progressive subacute mental deterioration, preceded by vertigo and without fever.

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is an increasing health threat in Sweden and elsewhere in Europe. TBE vaccination is commonly recommended in Sweden, but limited data are available on uptake, effectiveness, and impact of TBE vaccination. General population surveys conducted in 2019-2022 were used to estimated TBE vaccine uptake.

Human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1) has appeared as an emerging pathogen, causing mild to life-threatening respiratory tract infections, acute otitis media, and encephalitis in young children and immunocompromised individuals. The lack of cell lines suitable for culturing replicative viruses hinders research on HBoV1. Here, we characterized the susceptibility to HBoV1 of 29 human and 7 animal cell lines, and identified a permissive cell line, MA104.

Unlabelled: The genus includes seventeen viral species able to cause rabies, an acute and almost invariably fatal encephalomyelitis of mammals. Rabies virus (RABV), which represents the type species of the genus, is a multi-host pathogen that over the years has undergone multiple events of host-switching, thus occupying several geographical and ecological niches. In contrast, non-RABV lyssaviruses are mainly confined within a single natural host with rare spillover events.
