Persistence of haemagglutination-inhibition antibodies to JE and WN viruses in naturally infected domestic pigs in Karnataka State, India.
Domestic pigs were used as sentinels to monitor the prevalence of Japanese encephalitis (JE) and West Nile (WN) viruses in Kolar District of Karnataka State, India. The study revealed that the pigs once seroconverted to JE and WN viruses, remained immune as long as they were available for observation, up to three years.
