An electronic newsletter and interim supplement on Japanese encephalitis

JE Newsbriefs is a quarterly electronic newsletter for global health experts. It provides updates on PATH’s work to increase the availability in the developing world of a vaccine against Japanese encephalitis—a mosquito-borne illness that can cause severe neurological disability or death. 

JE Flash serves as a supplement between newsletter editions to provide breaking news on Japanese encephalitis disease and vaccines. When you subscribe to JE Newsbriefs, you will also receive occasional JE Flash emails to keep you up to date on the field's latest developments.
