California encephalitis

The incubation period of California encephalitis is usually 3-7 days.

California encephalitis virus belongs to the Bunyaviridae family of viruses.

California encephalitis is caused by a group of viruses called the California group virus.

In all three cases there was strong laboratory evidence confirming infection, due to the presence of neutralizing antibodies linked to California encephalitis.

California encephalitis virus was discovered in Kern County, California and causes encephalitis in humans.

The original California Encephalitis virus was isolated and put alongside fifteen other related viruses that are now categorized as the California serogroup.

In the United States several factors influence the transmission and control of diseases of arboviral encephalitis, like those of the California Encephalitis virus.

The California encephalitis virus invades the CNS through either the cerebral capillary endothelial cells or the choroid plexus.

Since then, most cases of encephalitis have been associated with the La Crosse virus, and California encephalitis is a rare cause of disease in the Western World.

California serogroup viruses including California encephalitis, Keystone, La Crosse, Jamestown Canyon, snowshoe hare, and trivittatus are all mosquito-borne arboviral infections.

Most orthobunyavirus species are transmitted by gnats and cause diseases of cattle; on the other hand, the California encephalitis virus and the La Crosse virus, are North American species that cause encephalitis in humans.
