The outbreaks of the disease have happened annually during summer months in Muzaffarpur and neighbouring districts since 1995, typically coinciding with the litchi season.

 

Known locally as Chamki Bukhar, the disease had claimed a record 150 lives in 2014.

 

In 2015, US researchers had said the brain disease could be linked to a toxic substance found in the exotic fruit.

 

They also said more study was needed to uncover the cause of the illness, which leads to seizures, altered mental state and death in more than a third of cases.

 

Outbreaks of neurological illness have also been observed in lychee-growing regions of Bangladesh and Vietnam.
