Causes of Mosquito-Borne Viral Encephalitis
Mosquito-borne viral encephalitis is caused by a bite from a mosquito that carries the virus from animals to humans. When mosquitoes bite an infected bird, horse, or other animal, they can pass the infection on to humans. It usually takes between 4 to 15 days for a person to have any symptoms after they have been bitten by an infected mosquito. Very rarely, the infection can also be passed through organ transplants or blood transfusions.
