The Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases (CEID) at the University of Georgia has released a new Japanese Encephalitis Virus Information Sharing Network website - JEVISN.org with financial support from the Swine Health Information Center (SHIC).

The new website is designed to be an evolving, centralized source of information on Japanese encephalitis (JE) and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). The site is organized by the follow sections:

• Data – This section will provide access to publicly available data for the development of spatial interaction models and other scientific endeavors.

• Information – This section provides access to peer-reviewed publications on ecology, economic impacts, epidemiology and response plans.

• Listserv – This is where active communication with registered users will be encouraged.

• Resources – This section will provide access to fact sheets published by government resources, academic institutions and SHIC, as well as recorded presentations from the 2022 symposium Japanese Encephalitis Virus: Emerging Global Treat to Humans and Livestock , and technical literature.

• Updates – Learn about novel scientific endeavors and globally significant peer-reviewed publications in this section.

JEVISN.org is managed by CEID, and website edits will be made on a timely basis. If you are interested in contributing to JEVISN.org, please contact John Drake, director of CEID and the Global Infectious Disease Intelligence Consortium, at jdrake@uga.edu.
