ABSTRACT
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is the important viral encephalitis in China. In the 1940s, JE was confirmed to be epidemic in China. In 1971, the annual incidence rate was 20.92/100 000. Since 2008, JE vaccine was included in the national Expanded Program of Immunization (EPI). In 2013, the incidence of Japanese encephalitis decreased to 0.16/100 000. JE virus is divided into five genotypes, and genotype 1, 3 and 5 JE virus was isolated in China. Genotype 1 JE virus was the mainly genotype currently circulated in China. In recent years, the characteristics of the population of JE have been changed to adult, especially in the northern provinces of China. JE prevention and control faces new challenges.
