## Abstract Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) induces an acute infection of the central nervous system, the pathogenic mechanism of which is not fully understood. To investigate host response to JEV infection, 14βdayβold mice were infected via the extraneural route, which resulted in encephalitis a
