This study aims to detect the Japanese encephalitis genotype 1 in various different geographic regions of Viet Nam. Material andmethod:
Sequence analysis\u2019s of whole E gene of 18 strains isolated from human, mosquitoes and pig\u2019s blood during 2001-2007.Results:
7 strains isolated from pig\u2019s blood and mosquito samples in the Northern, Central, Southern and Highland fell into genotype 1, but 11 others isolated from humans in the Northern and Central regions belonged to genotype 3.Conclusion:
