Role of BPD Hop Cage Method

Japanese Encephalitis (JE), transmitted mostly by Culex tritaeniorhynchus belonging to Culex vishnui group of mosquitoes, is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in 14 Asian countries. Approximately, 60 % of the world’s population live at risk in JE endemic regions of these countries. In humans, JE virus causes inflammation of the membranes around the brain hence the name “encephalitis”.
