Odisha intensifies awareness about unknown diseases that killed 24

New Delhi, Thu, 08 Nov 2012 NI Wire

Waking up to the threat of the unknown disease that claimed at least 24 lives, the government of Odisha has intensified health awareness campaign in tribal-populated Malkangiri district, an official said Thursday.
...
Eight deaths have been reported from Potrel and Usakapalli villages each, about 25 km from the district headquarters town of Malkangiri, he said.

The children who died of the disease had symptoms like mild fever and swelling of eyes, noses and ears. In addition, they had other symptoms that resemble those of Japanese Encephalitis, a mosquito-borne virus that kills thousands of children in India every year.

According to Panda, a team of experts visited the affected villages a few days ago and collected about 70 samples to identify the reason behind the deaths. The results of these investigations are supposed to come in three-four days, he said.
...
Specialists suspects that the children might have died of Japanese Encephalitis, because the affected villages have large number of pigs, the amplifying host of the virus.

Centre ‘cancels’ mop-up round for JE vaccine, state says process delayed
SURBHI KHYATI,Surbhi Khyati
Posted: Dec 09, 2012 at 0352 hrs IST

Lucknow The month-long mop-up round for Japanese Encephalitis (JE) vaccine, which was slated to start from December 1 in JE-affected districts of the state, has been refused permission by the Government of India on technical grounds.
While the state government, claims that the campaign has been postponed, central government officials claim that after two rounds of special immunisation drive against the disease, there is no need of another “campaign”, but rather for strengthening the routine immunisation (RI) which already includes JE vaccination.
...
Gearing up for the campaign, health officials of the state had already prepared the list of children between 16 and 24 months, as well as those up to 15 years, who were to be covered in the immunisation campaign. The mop-up round was to be held from December 1 to 31.
...
“A vaccination campaign is a technical decision. Uttar Pradesh already had two rounds of JE vaccination campaign in the years 2006 and 2010-11. After the campaigns, the vaccine is regularly being administered in the routine immunisation round for the new born babies. The need is to strengthen the routine immunisation of the state and improve the coverage rather than another round of vaccine campaign,” explained Dr Pradeep Haldar, Deputy Commissioner, Immunisation, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

A second Japanese encephalitis strain is circulating in India
Archita Bhatta
11 December 2012 | EN

[NEW DELHI] Researchers in West Bengal have reported a second strain of the Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) circulating in the eastern Indian state.

According to a study published online in Virology Journal, last month (15 November), the researchers confirmed genotype I (GI) of JEV coexisting with the predominant genotype III (GIII) strain in over a quarter of 135 patients hospitalised for acute encephalitis syndrome.

The GI strain was first detected in India three years ago in the Gorakhpur area of the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

Led by Shyamalendu Chatterjee at the virus unit of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) in Kolkata, the researchers have now confirmed the GI strain in the samples of blood, and fluid from brain and spinal column, of patients admitted to government hospitals in eight West Bengal districts between July and December 2010.

Published: 15 November 2012

Abstract (provisional)
Background
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito-borne zoonotic pathogen, is the sole etiologic agent of Japanese Encephalitis (JE); a neurotropic killer disease which is one of the major causes of viral encephalitis worldwide with prime public health concern. JE was first reported in the state of West Bengal, India in 1973. Since then it is being reported every year from different districts of the state, though the vaccination has already been done. Therefore, it indicates that there might be either partial coverage of the vaccine or the emergence of mutated/new strain of JEV. Considering this fact, to understand the JEV genotype distribution, we conducted a molecular epidemiological study on a total of 135 serum/cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples referred and/or collected from the clinically suspected patients with Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES), admitted in different district hospitals of West Bengal, India, 2010.

Findings

JEV etiology was confirmed in 36/135 (26.6%) and 13/61 (21.3%) 2--15 days' febrile illness samples from AES cases by analyzing Mac-ELISA followed by RT-PCR test respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on complete envelope gene sequences of 13 isolates showed the emergence of JEV genotype I (GI), co-circulating with genotype III (GIII).

Conclusion
This study represents the first report of JEV GI with GIII, co-circulating in West Bengal. The efficacy of the vaccine (derived from JEV GIII strain SA-14-14-2) to protect against emerging JEV GI needs careful evaluation. In future, JE outbreak is quite likely in the state, if this vaccine fails to protect sufficiently against GI of JEV.
