Abstract
Domestic pigs were used as sentinels to monitor the prevalence of Japanese encephalitis (JE) and West Nile (WN) viruses in Kolar District of Karnataka State, India. The study revealed that the pigs once seroconverted to JE and WN viruses, remained immune as long as they were available for observation, up to three years.
