Extractions: Japan B-Encephalitis-Virus Schweine, wildlebende Vögel, ev. Pferde Stechmücken 6 bis 16 Tage Die Japan B-Encephalitis ist eine Meningoencephalitis, also eine Entzündung von Gehirnhäuten und Gehirn. Die Erkrankung ist mit der FSME vergleichbar, der Verlauf ist jedoch meist wesentlich unangenehmer. Nach einer zwei bis drei Tage dauernden Phase mit uncharakteristischen Allgemeinsymptomen (grippe-ähnlich) kommt es bei dramatischen Verläufen zu zunehmender Nackensteife, Lichtscheu, Erbrechen sowie beträchtlichen Störungen der Bewußtseinslage. Es treten Krämpfe, Lähmungen und auch Bewußtlosigkeit auf. Der Verlauf ist bis zu 25% tödlich, ganz besonders im höheren Lebensalter sind tödliche Verläufe häufig. Wird die Erkrankung überlebt, so ist in einem hohen Prozentsatz (bis zu 50 - 85%) mit schweren neurologischen Ausfallserscheinungen als Folgezustand zu rechnen. In günstigen Fällen kann die Erkrankung auch unter dem Bild eines grippalen Infektes, einer Durchfallserkrankung oder eines Infektes der Luftwege ablaufen. Die Diagnose wird zuerst klinisch mittels Lumbalpunktion ("Kreuzstich") gestellt, zur Diagnosesicherung werden serologische Methoden eingesetzt.
Encephalitis Increase Linked To Pesticide Use
Are Mosquito Spray Pesticides Worsening the encephalitis Problem? Impact of naled(Dibrom 14) on the mosquito vectors of eastern equine encephalitis virus.

Extractions: Worsening the Encephalitis Problem? The following research provides the strongest evidence to date linking pesticide applications with increasing the incidence of encephalitis carrying mosquitoes. We will be ordering the complete article and placing a detailed summary on this site once it arrives. We are requesting that concerned citizens read through the article and write a letter to the editor to their local paper regarding this topic. Impact of naled (Dibrom 14) on the mosquito vectors of eastern equine encephalitis virus. SOURCE: Journal of the Am Mosquito Control Assoc , Dec;13(4):315-25, 1997 New York State Department of Health, SUNY-College ESF, Syracuse 13210, USA. CHEM-TOX COMMENTS: The above research provides strong evidence of how mosquito control pesticides (once applied to a "pristine" wildlife habitat) can then result in a dramatic increase in the incidence rate of encephalitis carrying mosquitoes in the area. While this research only shows "what is happening" - the next research would suggest investigations into "why it is happening." Current theories regarding this issue include: 1) Weakening of Wildlife Immune Systems Due to the recent increase in journal articles finding that low level chemical exposures can decrease the quality of mammalian immune system function, it is quite reasonable to expect wildlife in this immune weakened state to contract encephalitis more frequently. Therefore, one would also expect to see an increase in the numbers of mosquitoes developing encephalitis (since their chance of biting encephalitis infected wildlife has also increased).

An overview of encephalitis, a viral infection, or an inflammation, ofthe brain. Nervous System Diseases. encephalitis. What is encephalitis?
http://www.umm.edu/nervous/encephal.htm

Extractions: Encephalitis is a term used to describe inflammation of the brain. This condition causes problems with the brain and spinal cord function. The inflammation causes the brain to swell, which leads to changes in the person's neurologic condition, including mental confusion and seizures. What causes encephalitis? The cause of encephalitis varies depending on the season, the area of the country, and the type of exposure. Viruses are the leading cause of encephalitis. Although vaccines for many viruses, including measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox have greatly lowered the rate of encephalitis from these diseases, other viruses can cause encephalitis. These include herpes simplex virus and rabies. Encephalitis can also occur following infection by disease-carrying agents including ticks (Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever), mosquitoes (West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis), and cats (toxoplasmosis and cat-scratch disease).

http://medent.usyd.edu.au/fact/murray valley encephalitis and kunjin.htm

Extractions: Natural History The term 'Australian encephalitis' (AE) has been used to indicate encephalitis induced by infection with either Murray Valley encephalitis (MVE) and/or Kunjin (KUN) virus. However, they are different viruses, with slightly different clinical symptoms and so the infections should be named after the causative virus (i.e. MVE disease/KUN disease). The first reports of disease that might be attributed to MVE infection in humans in Australia occurred in southeastern Australia in 1917, 1918 and 1925 (114, 67 and 10 cases respectively), and were described under the title of "Australian 'X' disease". A virus, designated Murray Valley encephalitis virus, was later isolated from fatal cases in an epidemic in 1951, when there were 48 cases (and 19 deaths), and this virus has been accepted as the causal agent of the earlier Australian 'X' disease outbreaks. The next major outbreak occurred in 1974; although 42 cases were recorded in the southeast (primarily in the Murray Valley region), human infections occurred in all mainland states, with a national total of 58 cases and 13 fatalities. Serological studies indicated that some non-fatal cases were due to KUN virus infection, although only MVE virus was associated with fatal cases. Since 1974, cases have occurred sporadically in northern Australia and in the northwest of WA in particular, but there have been no cases of MVE recorded in southeastern Australia. However, in 1984 there was a case of non-fatal KUN encephalitis in northeastern Victoria and KUN infections were reported from two other areas in the Murray Valley, and in 1991 there were two KUN infections reported in southwestern NSW.

This is different from meningitis, which is an inflammation that only affects the membrane that covers the brain. Encephalitis is usually, but not always, caused by a viral infection. The following conditions can result in an inflammation of the brain (encephalitis): The severity of encephalitis varies enormously. In mild cases the symptoms are the same as many viral infections: In more severe cases , brain function is more obviously affected, causing: irritability restlessness hallucinations unusual behavior confusion drowsiness loss of muscle power in the arms or legs double vision impaired speech, hearing or balance

Extractions: Many viral infections can lead to encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, a condition marked by fever headache , nausea, drowsiness, speech and hearing impairment, and (in some cases) seizures and coma. The condition, while frightening, is usually not contagious, and most children who develop it survive without brain damage. HOW DOES ENCEPHALITIS DEVELOP? Depending on its cause, encephalitis can occur as an isolated case, a localized outbreak or an epidemic. Most often, encephalitis is a complication of a common viral infection, such as chicken pox , Coxsackie virus (which causes a severe sore throat), hepatitis, influenza , herpes or Espstein-Barr. In the days before vaccines, encephalitis might follow a bout with measles, the mumps, polio or rubella. Dozens of other viruses carried by mosquitos or ticks can also cause encephalitis.

See also meningitis Encephalitis is most often caused by a viral infection and many types of viruses can cause it. Exposure to viruses can occur through insect bites , food or drink contamination, inhalation of respiratory droplets from an infected person, or skin contact. In rural areas, arboviruses carried by mosquitoes or ticks , or that are accidentally ingested, are the most common cause. In urban areas, enteroviruses are most common, including Coxsackie virus, poliovirus, and echovirus. Other causes include herpes simplex infection, varicella chickenpox or shingles measles mumps rubella , adenovirus, rabies West Nile virus , and extremely rarely vaccinations

However, this disease can be especially dangerous to those who may have an impaired ability to fight the virus, such as the elderly and young children. In 1999, the West Nile Virus, a strain of encephalitis, was introduced to the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 62 severe cases of West Nile Virus reported in 1999. Seven deaths from the West Nile Virus were also reported in 1999. During 2000, 18 people became seriously ill due to the West Nile Virus, and one person died.

General description: Multiple and/or widespread areas of CNS involvement occur, as opposed to localized nature of abscess formation. Specific viruses affect specific anatomic areas or subpopulations of cells, a phenomenon called "tropism". An example of this is the predilection of herpes simplex virus to produce lesions in the limbic system, and infection of lower motor neurons by poliovirus. Microscopic changes include: perivascular cuffing by lymphocytes and plasma cells; neuronal necrosis; inclusion bodies; microglial proliferation and glial nodules; hemorrhagic necrosis (common in Herpes simplex encephalitis). Calcification can be detected in some neonates infected in utero with encephalitis-producing agents like CMV and HIV viruses.

Extractions: Resources Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain, usually caused by a direct viral infection or a hypersensitivity reaction to a virus or foreign protein. Brain inflammation caused by a bacterial infection is sometimes called cerebritis. When both the brain and spinal cord are involved, the disorder is called encephalomyelitis. An inflammation of the brain's covering, or meninges, is called meningitis Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain. The inflammation is a reaction of the body's immune system to infection or invasion. During the inflammation, the brain's tissues become swollen. The combination of the infection and the immune reaction to it can cause headache and a fever , as well as more severe symptoms in some cases. Approximately 2,000 cases of encephalitis are reported to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, GA each year. The viruses causing primary encephalitis can be epidemic or sporadic. The polio virus is an epidemic cause. Arthropod-borne viral encephalitis is responsible for most epidemic viral encephalitis. The viruses live in animal hosts and mosquitos that transmit the disease. The most common form of non-epidemic or sporadic encephalitis is caused by the herpes simplex virus, type 1 (HSV-1) and has a high rate of

Extractions: Japanese encephalitis is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in Asia. Infection is spread by infected mosquitoes. The risk of infection is greatest in parts of Southern and Eastern Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeastern Russian Federation. In all areas, the risk of infection is greatest in rural areas and changes with the season. An estimated 30,000 to 50,000 cases and 10,000 deaths occur each year, mostly among children. In endemic areas, the annual incidence of clinical disease ranges from 10-100 per 100,000 population. Children less than 15 years of age are principally affected. Most infections result in mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. On average, 1 in 300 infections results in symptomatic illness, which is characterized by a flu-like illness with sudden onset of fever, chills, headache, tiredness, nausea, and vomiting. The illness can progress to encephalitis (infection of the brain) and can be fatal in 30 percent of cases. About 30 percent of survivors will have serious neurological and psychiatric sequelae. There is no specific treatment for Japanese encephalitis. Care of patients focuses on treatment of symptoms and complications.

Extractions: ENCEPHALITIS, primary, post-infectious, and unspecified What is encephalitis? Encephalitis is a medical term that refers to an inflammation of the brain . Two closely related terms are encephalomyelitis, which refers to an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, and meningoencephalitis, which refers to an inflammation of the brain and the meninges (the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord). Encephalitis can be caused by a number of viruses, bacteria and poisons (such as lead). Primary encephalitis describes the situation where the cause of the encephalitis is known and is believed to be responsible for the patient's symptoms. Post-infectious encephalitis is also known as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. This describes a situation where the patient has recovered recently from an illness, and develops encephalitis at a subsequent date. Unspecified encephalitis describes the situation where the cause of the encephalitis is unknown. What are the symptoms of encephalitis? The symptoms of encephalitis vary depending on the cause of the encephalitis. The central nervous system effects can be very mild and produce symptoms no worse than a headache, or they can be very severe and result in coma or death. Depending on the cause of the encephalitis, other body systems may also be affected.

Extractions: Disease Index NJ InTouch What You Should Know About. . . Eastern Equine Encephalitis What is Eastern Equine Encephalitis? Eastern equine encephalitis is a rare but serious disease caused by the Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus. Eastern equine encephalitis is found mainly along the eastern seaboard of the United States and on the eastern Gulf coast. The virus grows in birds that live in freshwater swamps, and it is usually found only in these birds, and in the mosquitoes that feed on these birds. Who gets Eastern Equine Encephalitis? Anyone can get eastern equine encephalitis, but the disease is more common in young children and in persons over the age of 55. How is Eastern Equine Encephalitis spread? The Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus has a complex life cycle involving birds and a specific type of mosquito, Culiseta melanura, that lives in marshes and swamps. These mosquitoes feed only on birds, they do not feed on humans or other mammals. In rare cases, however, the virus escapes from its normal habitat and infects other mosquitoes that feed on both birds and mammals (including horses and humans). These mosquitoes can transmit the virus to animals and people. The risk of getting Eastern Equine Encephalitis is highest from late July through September. The virus is spread by adult mosquitoes, which are killed by frost in the fall. What are the symptoms of Eastern Equine Encephalitis?
