People can get encephalitis through viral infections, such as herpes simplex virus, West Nile virus, or Japanese encephalitis virus. Other causes include bacterial infections, parasites, or autoimmune reactions. It can also be a complication of certain diseases or conditions.
The viral diseases include: yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, La Crosse encephalitis, Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) and Western equine encephalitis (WEE), dengue fever, chikungunya, epidemic polyarthritis, Rift Valley fever, Ross River Fever, St. Louis encephalitis, West Nile virus (WNV) and HIV.

Japanese encephalitis primarily affects the brain, specifically the central nervous system. The virus can lead to inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), resulting in symptoms such as fever, headache, and neurological issues. In severe cases, it can cause lasting damage or be fatal. Vaccination is crucial in areas where the disease is endemic.
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.

an infected mosquito sucks that person's blood. Once in the body, the virus travels to various glands where it multiplies. The virus can then enter the bloodstream. Ultimately, the virus settles in the brain
