title: Concepts of control of Japanese encephalitis and dengue.
abstract: Japanese encephalitis and dengue are mosquito-borne virus diseases of major human disease importance to the Asian region. Our current knowledge of their distribution and transmission cycles is reviewed, the classical approaches to their control are discussed. The development of live attenuated vaccines for both disease offers possible elimination of human epidemics through combined use of vaccine and mosquito control.
