viral encephalitis - boggart

[ArchivalUser]

most common cause of encephalitis is St Louis Encephalitis in the US?

I thought it would be herpes simplex encephalitis which is the most common viral cause (worldwide?).

Herpesvirus encephalitis is the most common form of encephalitis in the United States.
Arthropod-born viruses (arboviruses) are important causes of encephalitis worldwide.
