JEV News
Two days ago, the nation woke up to a disturbing news of the death of 30 children within 48 hours at a government-run hospital in Gorakhpur.
Mosquitoes that feed on infected animals can become infected with the virus and then transmit it to humans.
Currently, the vector-borne disease has claimed lives of 27 children in Odisha's Malkangiri district.
The incubation period of JEV (time from infection until illness) is typically 5-15 days, but 1 in 250 infections develop into encephalitis.
