Thanks to the extremely hot days though... we're seeing less number of mosquitoes carrying Japanese encephalitis this summer.<br /> The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.... the number of this particular breed of small, dark brown mosquitoes.... is down 71-point-4 percent compared to last year.<br />Japanese encephalitis is not common in modern Korea.... but it can be fatal and there are usually a couple of dozen cases a year.<br />The number of mosquitoes in general also dropped by 2-point-2 percent.<br />The KCDC says.... there are fewer of the pests because of the extreme heat and the short monsoon season. <br />
