muscle. Peripheral muscle fatigue involves the motor units‚ such as motor neurons‚ peripheral nerves‚ motor endplates‚ and muscle fibers. There are two different sites where repeated contractions may cause muscle fatigue. One is the transmission mechanism‚ which is basically the neuromuscular junction‚ muscle membrane‚ and endoplasmic reticulum. The other one is the contractile mechanism‚ which is the muscle filament. A muscle fiber’s mechanical response declines with fatigue. Peripheral muscle fatigue

clearance of the virus after infection. A plausible therapy of clearing the virus load while in its incubation period in peripheral lymphatic tissues and spleen may actually prevent JEV pathogenesis. Besides neuronal cells‚ researchers have shown that astrocytes are also infected by JEV. Astrocytes are the component of the blood brain barrier‚ may hep in the transmission of JEV from peripheral tissues to the cerebrospinal fluid. The molecular pathogenesis of JEV infection is still unclear. It is known that
