Japanese encephalitis(JE),one of the major viral encephalitides,is caused by Flavivirus circulating in rural areas of Asia and Western Pacific regions[1]and is a neglected tropical viral disease due to its endemicity[2].The culicine mosquitoes,mainly of Culex tritaeniorhynchus and Culex vishnui group,are the vectors of JE virus(JEV)[1].Being a neurologic infection,JE manifests with a set of serious symptoms leading to death in many cases and/or change in behaviour of the patients leading to permanent disability[3].
