Is japanese encephalitis virus ( JEV ) an important cause of encephalitis among children in Cuddalore district , Tamil Nadu , India?
In JE-endemic areas, the actual JE burden can be estimated by the collection of JE case reports from the local hospitals and from the referral hospitals. Building of diagnostic facilities in hospitals for JE is necessary to achieve this goal.
The E. coli strain SSY09(pZSack) constructed via endogenous pathway engineering fermented glucose and xylose to ethanol with high yield and productivity. This strain lacking any foreign gene for ethanol fermentation is likely to be genetically more stable and therefore should be tested further for the fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolysate at higher scale.
