NYU Study Reveals How Brain's Immune System Fights Viral Encephalitis
New York University biologists have uncovered how the innate immune system in mice's brains fights viral infection of neurons. The findings, published as the cover study in the latest issue of Virology, show that proteins in neurons fight the virus at multiple stages--by preventing the formation of viral RNA and proteins, and blocking the virus' release, which could infect other cells in the brai...NYU study reveals how brain's immune system fights viral encephalitis

A study of patients with viral encephalitis by researchers at the ClevelandClinic, Ohio has revealed that the condition could cause seriouys movementproblems. The investigators studied a group of patients with the condition, fiveof whom had West Nile virus. They found that 11 of the victims were admitted toneurological intensive care, while four developed severe movement disorders liket...Toll-like Receptor (Tlr3) Attachment Leads To Lethal Encephalitis
Researchers have found that recognisation of West Nile Virus (WNV) by Toll-like// receptor (Tlr3) as the major factor which allows the virus to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and cause lethal encephalitis. WNV is a single stranded RNA (ssRNA) flavivirus with a life cycle that primarily involves birds and mosquitoes; however, humans and horses can become infected. In humans, infect...Encephalitis claims 46 lives in UP
Uttar Pradesh has turned a victim of encephalitis with, as many as 43 children and three adults who have been affected in the past three weeks. A report of 9 casualties has // created a sense of fear among the public. The bulk of the rush is from rural pockets around Gorakhpur, Maharajganj, Kushinagar and Deoria, besides villages along the marshy Indo-Nepal border. Two special wards have...Encephalitis Claims 131 lives in Uttar Pradesh
Encephalitis is slowly spreading in UP and causing more deaths especially in children. 11 more deaths were reported from Gorakhpur. The toll caused by the rapidly spreading killer virus // in the state has gone up to 131. While the disease was so far confined largely to Gorakhpur and neighboring Maharajganj and Kushinagar districts, it has now spread to not only nearby Bahraich, Barab...Eastern Equine Encephalitis Antibody, IgG by IFA, Serum
