Abstract |
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is mosquito-borne flavivirus that causes neurological disorder in humans and has Culex mosqui¬toes as the primary vector for transmission. Although Thailand has good Japanese encephalitis (JE) control programs including national immunization program and vector control, JE patients have been found annually. The previous data in 2018 to 2019 showed that Ubon Ratchathani province has the highest morbidity rate of JE. To know an existing JEV in this region, this study investigated JEV infection in Culex mosquitoes that were collected from the selected households from one urban area (Don Yung) and one rural area (Phon Duan), in Ubon Ratchathani province from January to December 2019 by using the Prokopack mosquito aspirator. Mosquitoes were pooled and homogenized by using the micro pestle with L-15 media. RNA was extracted from supernatants of mosquito pool samples and synthesized cDNA by SuperScriptIII first-strand synthesis system. Specific primers were created and optimized for sensitivity of detection. The quantified cDNA were used to detect E and partial NS1 genes of JEV all genotypes by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The result showed that a total of 335 RNA samples from mosquito pools were good qualified. The detection of the JEV gene was negative. These data provide information about no existing JEV in the main vector in the study sites suggesting serosurveillance of JEV in secondary hosts or infected asymptomatic persons should be done to understand the circulating of this virus in the endemic area. |
