Forest Encephalitis Virus

Forest encephalitis (FE), yomwe imadziwikanso kuti nkhupakupa-borne encephalitis (Tick-borne encephalitis, TBE), ndi nthenda yopatsirana yapakati pa minyewa yoyambitsidwa ndi kachilombo ka nkhalango ya encephalitis. Forest encephalitis virus ndi ya mtundu wa Flavivirus wa banja la Flaviviridae. Tinthu tating'onoting'ono ta virus ndi ozungulira ndi mainchesi a 40-50nm. Kulemera kwa molekyulu ndi pafupifupi 4 × 10⁶Da, ndi kachilombo ka genome ndi lingaliro labwino, RNA yokhala ndi chingwe chimodzi^[1]. Kachipatala, amadziwika ndi kutentha thupi kwambiri, kupweteka mutu, chikomokere, kukwiya msanga kwa meningeal, ndi kufa ziwalo za khosi ndi miyendo, ndipo amafa kwambiri. Kuzindikira koyambirira komanso kofulumira kwa kachilombo ka nkhalango ya encephalitis ndiye chinsinsi cha chithandizo cha nkhalango ya encephalitis, ndipo kukhazikitsidwa kwa njira yosavuta, yeniyeni komanso yofulumira ya etiological matenda ndikofunikira kwambiri pakuzindikira matenda a nkhalango ya encephalitis.^[1,2].
