Don't forget all the fuss over Japanese Encephalitis a month or so back, that seems to have vanished off the news cycles.
(I asked a friend in Japan about this and he said that it's a nasty one to get - about 1 in 300 who catch it get a serious case and then your odds of surviving are about 50/50. There is a vaccine, thankfully, but you have to get it into you pretty quickly.)
