Abstract Background Encephalitis caused by flaviviruses Japanese encephalitis virus JEV and West Nile virus WNV is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in many endemic countries. Dengue-2 Den-2 virus is a recent addition to the list of encephalitogenic viruses after its Central Nervous System CNS invasion capability has been established. There is a wide array of laboratory tools that have helped us not only in the diagnosis of these conditions but also in understanding their pathogenesis and pathology. However there are no reports of Shell Vial Culture SVC a centrifuge enhanced tissue culture assay that has revolutionized viral culturing in terms of rapidity and sensitivity being optimized for these flaviviral encephalitic conditions. The present study is an attempt to .
