Although JEV is primarily associated with reproductive failure in swine JEV infection can cause fever and headache in humans and is associated with aseptic meningitis and encephalitis. The exact mode of transmission including host range and possible source of viral amplification within livestock is still not completely clear. This study consisted of a serological survey of JEV infection in goats. A total of 804 goat serum samples were collected from 144 farms in Korea between May 2005 and May 2006. The incidence of positive cases was 12.1 97 out of 804 goats . The seroprevalence of JEV infection in the 144 farms screened was 31.3 45 144 indicating that JEV infection is frequent in goat farms in Korea. In addition three districts of Korea mainly in the southern region had a higher seroprevalence of JEV compared to other areas. The results suggest that goats could be monitored epidemiologically as a sentinel animal for JEV transmission in Korea. Key words goat JEV seroprevalence Japanese encephalitis JE is a mosquito-borne viral zoonosis that is becoming increasingly important in terms of public health. Japanese encephalitis virus JEV a member of the genus Flavivirus in Flaviviridae is an emerging virus that is spreading to new areas. Several species of mosquito including Culex tritaeniorhynchus in Asia are thought to be vectors for JEV. .
