Dengue fever

Introduction Every summer Florida is often hit by a swarm of mosquitoes that are very irritating because of their bites, deadly diseases they may cause, and the sound they make especially during the night. On numerous occasions many of us have fallen victim to irritating and sometimes painful mosquito bites. However, in most cases we often tend to ignore these bites mainly we are not too worried about serious disease, unless one has been reported in our local area. Another reason why most people…

In order to prevent a virus we must first learn its history; how it came about and where, we must then take into perspective how it is spread and then take preventative measures to ensure that the minimal amount of people are infected. A virus is simply defined as a non-living, infectious agent that must use a host cell in order to replicate. What makes these viruses so dangerous is that they’re numerous, and thus easy to spread and catch. This is not to say that every virus affects us, some…

an ongoing pandemic and public health emergency with serious medical and economic consequences. (Plourde and Bloch, 2016). Zika virus belongs to the family of flavivirus which includes other mosquitoborn viruses like chikungunya virus, dengue virus, yellow fever virus and West Nile virus (Plourde and Bloch, 2016). Zika virus is transmitted to people primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito (Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus), other Aedes spp implicated in Zika virus…

between El Nino condition and the weather in Sri Lanka. It tells me that the condition caused fever epidemics in some parts of Sri Lanka. This could have happened because of global warming, causing it to rain more and temperatures to rise in Sri Lanka. Thus, there was at least 50 mm of rain per week and increasing temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius or higher. The relationship between rainfall and dengue found around 6 to 10 weeks, following rainfalls of more than 300 mm per week (“El Nino…

Thank you for taking the time to read my proposal to address the pressing issue of the ever spreading Zika Virus. The recent American outbreak of the widespread Zika epidemic has called for cautious measures to be taken in areas of high mosquito population. There have been several moments in the past few months where I would find myself swatting mosquitos, only to have those around me continuously warn me about Zika. The impact the virus has had on the general public has caused mild levels of…

The dengue virus is similar to the Zika virus. They belong to the same viral family, called the Flaviviridae, and are transmitted by the same mosquito. Prevention is the key to avoid Zika. Mothers should not travel where there is Zika, they should use a mosquito…

are the symptoms? Fortunately, most people infected with WNV will have no symptoms. About 1 in 5 people who are infected will develop a fever with other symptoms. Less than 1% of infected people develop a serious, sometimes fatal, neurologic illness. Headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Neurologic illness can include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, tremors, seizures, or paralysis. (10 points) 6.…

The yellow fever was an infectious virus that took place in the south, particularly Memphis, Tennessee with its most catastrophic case in 1878. The virus was transmitted to people by the bite of an infected mosquito. According to the CDC, “the yellow fever virus is/was found in tropical and subtropical areas in South America and Africa” (CDC, 2015). Overall diagnosing the yellow fever was based on a person’s symptoms and different test. Although there were no guidelines nor general treatment…

year as the time goes by. The Aedes Mosquitoes are known to carry the Zika Virus disease and can be transmitted to other humans who are in contact with them. A few common symptoms of the Zika Virus, are recognized if the patient has any sign of a fever, rash, joint pain, and/or red eyes. These kinds of symptoms can last about a week or so. The virus can last for several weeks or at least 1-2 months till the individual can no longer experience the effects of the mosquito-contracted disease.…

sly kid. I would execute my mom’s requests under her presence, but I 'd rather find a way to get away with it when she was not there. After my severe dengue, I began to obey my mother more. I got dengue because of my stubborn and disobey to my mother. Dengue fever broke out in Vietnam during 2007.…
