Rapid globalization and global warming produces new problems unexpected in the past. Epidemic of infective disorders is one of such emerging issues. Flavivirus infections by tick-borne encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, West Nile encephalitis, Dengue and Zika viruses have been endemic in tropical areas and manifest various neurological syndromes including acute encephalomyelitis, para-infectious syndromes and brain malformation. These disorders have, however, been reported in regions far from original foci suggesting its potential propagation. Therefore, awareness of these risks is mandatory for contemporary societies, regardless of the location. From these viewpoints, the theme of this symposium is determined as flavivirus infection. Participation in this symposium with experts’ lectures and active discussion would update your knowledge about flavivirus infection and more general global health issues.
