A total of 1,024 sera were collected from cattle(227), pigs(465), chickens(257) and dogs(75) raised or slaughtered in Daejeon metropolitan city from April to September 2002. Japanses encephalitis virus(JEV) antibodies in sera were detected by the haemagglutination inhibition test. The prevalence rates of JEV antibodies were 99.1 %, 54.0 %, 63.0 % and 98.7 % in cattle, pigs, chickens and dogs, respectively. In case of cattle and dogs, the monthly antibody-positive rates were as high as 85.7∼100.0 % and there were no differences among six months. In case of pigs, the monthly antibody-positive rate showed the lowest in April(6.4 %) and the highest in July(100.0 %) and it remained above 50 % during the summer-time. In case of chickens, the monthly antibody-positive rate was 100.0 % in July & August, 80.5 % in June, 40.0 % in May, 7.5 % in September and 5.0 % in April in order and there were distinct differences in seasons.
