Abstract

To the Editor: On March 4, 2022, Japanese encephalitis was identified as a “communicable disease incident of national significance” in
Australia. This notification followed the detection of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in mummified, stillborn, and weak newborn piglets from multiple commercial piggeries across four temperate southern Australian states, with concomitant recognition of human cases of Japanese encephalitis. As of August 1, 2022, a total of 40 cases of infection that had led to 5 deaths had been reported.
