Prior to 1976 only Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) genotype III could be detected in China. Recently, numerous genotype I JEV strains have been isolated from JE patients, mosquitoes and pigs while genotype III strains remain present. Two kinds of JEV vaccines are currently used in China for the prevention disease: the JE live attenuated vaccine (LAV) SA14-14-2 virus and the inactivated P3 strain (IPV) vaccine. The SA14-14-2 and P3 viral strains were isolated in the year of 1953 and 1949 respectively and both belonged to the JEV genotype III. In order to evaluate the protective efficacy of both vaccines against the JEV genotype I isolates we conducted vaccination-challenge protection assays in mice. These data demonstrated that both LAV (≥234pfu virus) and IPV (1:5 dilution) vaccines effectively conferred protection against all 16 isolates tested following intraperitoneal (i.p.) challenge. However, when vaccinated mice were challenged via intracerebral (i.c.) injection, ≥60% LAV vaccinated animals were protected against challenge with most JEV isolates but only ≤40% protection was observed following vaccination with IPV. These results indicated that JE vaccines used in China still protected effectively against both JEV genotypes now prevalent in China and that the LAV formulation conferred higher levels of protection compared to the protection conferred by IPV.
