Mosquito surveillance on U.S military installations as part of a Japanese encephalitis virus detection program: 2016 to 2021.
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) continues to circulate throughout Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific where approximately 3 billion people in 24 countries are at risk of infection. Surveillance targeting the mosquito vectors of JEV was conducted at four military installations on Okinawa, Japan,...
