Chikungunya

Chikungunya
Dear Reader,
  Now I Would like to share my feelings about one of the dangerous diseases. Here it is. Its name is Chikungunya. 




Generally we see that illness occurs in only rainy season. usually malaria, typhoid, cholera, typhoid, Chickungunya diseases are occurs only in this season. In rainy season we see a huge mosquito population. If favorable conditions available each organism produce of its offsprings. Especially mosquitoes are produce its offsprings numerous within the short period. So, rainy season is the to laying eggs of mosquitoes and its development.


All countries are developing, some are developed in IT(Information and Technology) and Agriculture. But, somewhat ignoring their country's people health. This is because of lack of awareness on the importance of health and less knowledge in preventing methodologies on vectors(those carry disease-causing organisms) of diseases. It is the responsibility of every human being to know and understand the importance of health without depending/expecting help from  some other 3rd  person/government health/private health organizations. To avoid diseases from all mosquito vectors , we must keep our surroundings clearly. Pour the kerosene on the surfaces of stagnant water. Mainly my intention about to write this article is to provide awareness to the public with respect to Chikungunya and its symptoms, transmission, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control.   
    
chikungunya is a one type of viral disease. Infected mosquitoes are vectors for the chikungunya. Dengue and chikungunya symptoms are similar. Therefore it can be misdiagnosed where dengue is common. Treatment focused on assist the disease symptoms. No cure for this disease.  
Chikungunya disease spread in Asia, Africa, and subcontinent of India. vectors of chikungunya recently spread to America, and an Europe From last few decades.
Virus of chikungunya belongs to Ribo Nucleic Acid. It's family is Togaviridae and genus Alphavirus. Kimakonde is one language which means control. chikungunya word derived from Kimikode language. This disease described as bending forward along with joint pain.

SYMPTOMS:

Chikungunya is an abrupt fever frequently with joint pain. Other common symptoms are fatigue, rashes, nausea, headache and muscle pains.
The joint pains are very weakened the body usually lasts for a few days or maybe enlarge to weeks. Therefore virus may be cause to chronic means throughout life, acute, and subacute.
Generally affected patients are recover, but in some cases, joint pains occur for several months to years. In older people, the disease has contributed to the cause of death.

TRANSMISSION:
In   60 countries the chikungunya transmitted through infected mosquito bite in an Europe, America, and Asia.
vectors of chikungunya are Aedes aegypti, and Aedes albopictus. These two mosquitoes are active daytime and bite means morning and afternoon. Two species of mosquitoes are biting outdoors but Aedes empty rapidly feed indoors.
If an infected mosquito bite, illness happens between 4 to 8 days but have ranged from 2 to 12 days.

DIAGNOSIS:
To diagnose the disease several methods are available. ELISA test determined the presence of lgG AND lgM antibodies of chikungunya.
Samples collected from affected person during the first week and examined by ELISA test and virological test. The virus may be separated from the blood first few days after infection.
Till now, no specific antiviral drug to prevent from chikungunya. Treatment is primarily relieving the symptoms. No vaccine for the chikungunya disease.

PREVENTION AND CONTROL:
In our surrounding no water stagnant, they may help to breed the mosquitoes of chikungunya. Insecticide may sprayed to kill the flying mosquitoes . Spray the surfaces of containers where mosquitoes are land and use treat water  in containers to kill the larvae of immature stage.To protect from mosquito biting fully clothing is the best which reduce the skin exhibit to the day.

Mosquito coils are use to prevent from biting. Who sleep during day time especially young children's, ill older people better to use insecticide and use mosquito nets for good protection.

Basic precautions are   wearing long sleeves, pants. Take care rooms are fitted with screens to avoid mosquitoes entering. 

So, Please be take care about this disease. I hope you understand the dangerous of this disease. Please share this information to all. see you in my next article. Please feel free to give comments and suggestions in the below section. 

Thank You.
