| Abstract | Virological and epidemiological studies performed in Chiang Mai in 1982 could be summarized as follows: (1) Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) cases were observed mainly in Chiang Mai City, while encephalitis cases were observed more widely over Chiang Mai Province. (2) Almost half of the encephalitis appeared to be Japanese encephalitis (JE), although some cases were considered as dengue encephalopathy. (3) Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure IgM-antibodies against JE antigen helped to differentiate JE from dengue infection. (4) Dengue virus infection apparently become more prevalent in the study area compared with 12 years ago, and type 1 virus was the principal type of the virus circulating in Chiang Mai in 1982. (5) Northernmost part of Chiang Mai Province showed lower prevalence of flavivirus antibodies compared with Chiang Mai Valley. (6) Infection rate of vector mosquitoes with JE virus was low, compared with the number of apparent JE cases, although one-third of swine population possessed IgM antibodies against JE virus, (7) Infection of Hill Tribe People by JE virus remains to be elucidated in future studies.
