ABSTRACT
In a hospital based study in Dibrugarh upper Assam carried out over a period of one year, 250 normal individuals, were screened for antibody to Japanese encephalitis Virus. 44 individuals (17.6%) showed antibody to JE virus. The highest numbers were found in July and August, each 40%, and lowest in January (4%). The ratio of apparent to inapparent infection in this study was found to be 9.1 : 100, which is lower than reported in Assam earlier, but slightly higher than predicted for India as a whole.
