Japanese Encephalitis Virus



  • Researchers at the National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (NIAB)  have developed Fluorine Doped Tin Oxide (FTO), electrode fabricated with reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) to treat Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV).

  • The developed biosensor may be able to overcome certain limitationsThe developed biosensor may be able to overcome certain limitations.

  • It is often misdiagnosed as Dengue.

  • There is no cure available for JEV, hence its detection earlier is essential to mitigate a breakout.

  • The JEV is leading cause of Encephalitis in the western Pacific and South East Asia.
