Abstract

Japanese encephalitis a mosquito transmitted viral disease is a global confront for public health. The disease is a pediatric problem, the seriousness of the disease can be predicted as it mostly affects the children and the survivor are left with serious long term neuropsychiatric problems. Hence the disease is affecting our future generation. The only available option to control JE is vaccination but being a disease of low socioeconomic strata, affordable vaccines are still a demand. Therefore to overcome the present situation there is an imperative need for development of safe and affordable antiviral drugs for Japanese encephalitis. There are many promising antiviral agents against JE which need further evaluation. This review highlights the potential antiviral drugs which can be utilized for Japanese encephalitis.
