This image visually represents Japanese encephalitis, a mosquito-borne viral infection that causes inflammation of the brain. The man is shown clutching his head in pain with red spikes and sweat indicating severe headache and discomfort. Accompanying the figure is a brain graphic with a red area symbolising swelling and inflammation. Japanese encephalitis can lead to serious complications such as seizures, confusion, coma, or permanent neurological damage. The image effectively communicates the seriousness of this condition and serves as a valuable visual for public health awareness, particularly in regions where the virus is endemic.
