Abstract

Flavivirus encephalitis is a severe illness caused by viruses like dengue (DENV) and Japanese encephalitis (JEV). It can lead to brain complications, and there is no treatment. Both viruses are major concerns in Asia and Oceania. Dengue affects about 390 million people a year, while JEV causes 100,000 cases annually with a death rate of up to 30%. This project, with Asian collaborators, aims to develop better diagnostics, treatments, and prevention, and train scientists in outbreak preparedness.
