日本脑炎(JE)是亚洲病毒性脑炎的主要形式。它是由属于黄病毒科的乙脑病毒(JEV)引起的。JEV是亚洲许多地区的地方病,在那里周期性的爆发夺走了数百人的生命。尽管日本脑炎造成了巨大的灾难,但它仍然是一种在西方不常见的热带疾病。随着全球化和气候变化的迅速发展,JEV开始出现在以前不知道威胁的地区。科学证据预测,JEV将很快成为一种全球性病原体,并导致世界范围的流行病。虽然一些研究文件的JEV发病机制和药物的发现,世界范围内的广泛研究,以应对乙脑的认识仍然缺乏。这篇评论的重点是迫切需要发展一个全球性的努力,以承认进行广泛的研究,迄今被忽视的热带病毒性疾病的首要重要性。本文还概述了发病机制,科学努力引导到开发一种治疗,并展望未来可能的突破解决这一杀手疾病。
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is the leading form of viral encephalitis in Asia. It is caused by the JE virus (JEV), which belongs to the family Flaviviridae. JEV is endemic to many parts of Asia, where periodic outbreaks take hundreds of lives. Despite the catastrophes it causes, JE has remained a tropical disease uncommon in the West. With rapid globalization and climatic shift, JEV has started to emerge in areas where the threat was previously unknown. Scientific evidence predicts that JEV will soon become a global pathogen and cause of worldwide pandemics. Although some research documents JEV pathogenesis and drug discovery, worldwide awareness of the need for extensive research to deal with JE is still lacking. This review focuses on the exigency of developing a worldwide effort to acknowledge the prime importance of performing an extensive study of this thus far neglected tropical viral disease. This review also outlines the pathogenesis, the scientific efforts channeled into develop a therapy, and the outlook for a possible future breakthrough addressing this killer disease.
