Encephalitis can be caused by various pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. The most common viral causes include herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, and arboviruses like West Nile virus and Japanese encephalitis virus. Bacterial causes can include infections like syphilis or Lyme disease. The specific pathogen often determines the severity, treatment, and prognosis of the disease.
Infected mosquitoes can spread the pathogen that can cause encephalitis. West Nile Virus is one of the encephalitis illnesses that is spread by mosquito sting.
Culex is a genus of mosquito. It has been known to carry pathogens for West Nile virus, avian malaria, encephalitis, and other diseases.
The illness, which can be fatal, is transmitted from one infected person to another by the tsetse fly. While it can occur globally, encephalitis lethargica is especially prevalent in Africa.
That depends on whether it is bacterial encephalitis or viral encephalitis. Bacterial encephalitis is treated with antibiotics, while viral encephalitis is not.
Primary encephalitis can happen to people at any time of the year (sporadic encephalitis), or can be part of an outbreak (epidemic encephalitis).
