JEV is one of the zoonotic pathogens that cause serious diseases in humans. JEV infection can cause abortion, mummified foetus and stillbirth in sows, orchitis and semen quality decline in boars, causing huge economic losses to pig industry. In order to investigate the epidemiology of JEV in pigs in Sichuan province, a rapid and efficient fluorescent Reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (RT-RAA) detection method was established. Aborted fetuses and testicular swollen boar samples were detected by RT-RAA in pigs in the mountain areas around Sichuan Basin, and the detection rate of JEV was 6.49%. The positive samples were identified as JEV GI strain and GIIIstrain by sequencing analysis. We analyzed the whole gene sequence of a positive sample for the GI virus. The Envelope Protein (E protein) phylogenetic tree analysis was far related to the Chinese vaccine strain SA14-14-2, and was most closely related to the JEV GI strains SH17M-07 and SD0810 isolated from China. The results showed that we established an efficient, accurate and sensitive method for clinical detection of JEV, and JEV GI strains were prevalent in Sichuan area. It provides reference for the prevention and control of JEV in Sichuan.

Background: Japanese encephalitis (JE) induced by Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection is the most prevalent diagnosed epidemic viral encephalitis globally. The underlying pathological mechanisms remain largely unknown. Given that viruses are obligate intracellular parasites, cellular metabolic reprogramming triggered by viral infection is intricately related to the establishment of infection and progression of disease.

CprA is a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) that contributes to resistance against colistin and antimicrobial peptides. The cprA gene is conserved across Pseudomonas aeruginosa clades and its expression is directly regulated by the two-component system PmrAB. We have shown that cprA expression leads to the production of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that block autophagic flux and have a greater capacity to activate the non-canonical inflammasome pathway.

A Non-Centrifugation Method to Concentrate and Purify Extracellular Vesicles Using Superabsorbent Polymer Followed by Size Exclusion Chromatography.

J Extracell Vesicles

January 2025

Department of Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition, Krefting Research Centre, Institute of Medicine, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be isolated and purified from cell cultures and biofluids using different methodologies. Here, we explored a novel EV isolation approach by combining superabsorbent polymers (SAP) in a dialysis membrane with size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to achieve high concentration and purity of EVs without the use of ultracentrifugation (UC). Suspension HEK293 cells transfected with CD63 coupled with Thermo Luciferase were used to quantify the EV yield and purity.

Development of nucleic acid-based vaccines against dengue and other mosquito-borne flaviviruses: the past, present, and future.

Due to their widespread geographic distribution and frequent outbreaks, mosquito-borne flaviviruses, such as DENV (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), yellow fever virus (YFV), and West Nile virus (WNV), are considered significant global public health threats and contribute to dramatic socioeconomic imbalances worldwide. The global prevalence of these viruses is largely driven by extensive international travels and ecological disruptions that create favorable conditions for the breeding of and species, the mosquito vectors responsible for the spread of these pathogens. Currently, vaccines are available for only DENV, YFV, and JEV, but these face several challenges, including safety concerns, lengthy production processes, and logistical difficulties in distribution, especially in resource-limited regions, highlighting the urgent need for innovative vaccine approaches.

Emergence of locally acquired Japanese encephalitis virus in Australia, January 2021-June 2022: a national case series.

Commun Dis Intell (2018)

January 2025

Health Protection Policy and Surveillance Division, Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia.

Background And Methods: In March 2022, an outbreak of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection was identified in temperate south-eastern Australia, with detections in humans and animals. The unexpected emergence of JEV prompted a national public health response and a Communicable Disease Incident of National Significance was declared. JEV has previously only been identified in tropical north-eastern Australia in localised outbreaks.
