Protection of pigs against mosquito-borne Japanese encephalitis virus by immunization with a live attenuated vaccine. 1982

O Sasaki, and Y Karoji, and A Kuroda, and T Karaki, and K Takenokuma, and O Maeda

Pigs were vaccinated with an attenuated Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) vaccine and challenged with virulent JEV, either by subcutaneous injection or by exposure to infected mosquitoes. The vaccinated pigs developed circulating antibodies to JEV. After challenge they did not develop viremia detectable by inoculation of their serum in suckling mice. They were also unable to transmit virus to mosquitoes fed on their skin. In contrast, unvaccinated pigs, whether challenged by injection or by mosquito bites, developed viremia and did transmit virus to mosquitoes which were allowed to bite them. Transmission seemed possible for only 3 days post-infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009033 Culicidae A family of the order DIPTERA that comprises the mosquitoes. The larval stages are aquatic, and the adults can be recognized by the characteristic WINGS, ANIMAL venation, the scales along the wing veins, and the long proboscis. Many species are of particular medical importance. Mosquitoes,Mosquitos,Mosquito
D004664 Encephalitis Virus, Japanese A species of FLAVIVIRUS, one of the Japanese encephalitis virus group (ENCEPHALITIS VIRUSES, JAPANESE), which is the etiological agent of Japanese encephalitis found in Asia, southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Japanese B Encephalitis Virus,Japanese Encephalitis Virus,Virus, Japanese Encephalitis
D004672 Encephalitis, Japanese A mosquito-borne encephalitis caused by the Japanese B encephalitis virus (ENCEPHALITIS VIRUS, JAPANESE) occurring throughout Eastern Asia and Australia. The majority of infections occur in children and are subclinical or have features limited to transient fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. Inflammation of the brain, spinal cord, and meninges may occur and lead to transient or permanent neurologic deficits (including a POLIOMYELITIS-like presentation); SEIZURES; COMA; and death.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).

D014613 Vaccines, Attenuated Live vaccines prepared from microorganisms which have undergone physical adaptation (e.g., by radiation or temperature conditioning) or serial passage in laboratory animal hosts or infected tissue/cell cultures, in order to produce avirulent mutant strains capable of inducing protective immunity.
