It only develops into encephalitis in about one out of every 250 infected people. Initial symptoms are prosaic and non-specific, such as fever, headache and malaise. However, if the disease progresses to neck rigidity, severe weight loss, paralysis on one side of the body, convulsions and high body temperature. The disease can be prevented by vaccination, and this is recommended for anyone travelling to endemic areas.
