    Japanese encephalitis is a mosquito-borne viral infection that is the leading cause of childhood encephalitis in Asia. The virus is transmitted in an enzootic cycle between mosquitoes and pigs/birds, with humans as incidental hosts. Early symptoms include fever, headache, and abdominal pain, while later symptoms involve mental changes and neurological deficits. Travelers can reduce risk by choosing accommodations with air conditioning/screens and sleeping under mosquito nets. Effective vaccines are available to prevent infection for those traveling to endemic areas in Asia and the Western Pacific.
