"A Victorian man is reportedly in a critical condition in hospital after
contracting Japanese encephalitis from a mosquito bite.

This news comes after both Victoria and New South Wales issued public health
alerts in recent weeks warning about the virus.

So what is Japanese encephalitis, and how can you protect yourself and your
family if you live, work or are holidaying in mosquito-prone regions this
summer?"
