In Vitro Infection Dynamics of Japanese Encephalitis Virus in Established Porcine Cell Lines

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a zoonotic mosquito-borne pathogen that regularly causes severe neurological disease in humans in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific region. Pigs are one of the main amplifying hosts of JEV and play a central role in the virus transmission cycle. The objectiv...

In Vitro Infection Dynamics of Japanese Encephalitis Virus in Established Porcine Cell Lines
description Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a zoonotic mosquito-borne pathogen that regularly causes severe neurological disease in humans in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific region.
