Aedes mosquito News
As the global incidence of dengue continues to rise, it becomes imperative for individuals to adopt proactive measures to safeguard themselves.
Zika virus case was reported in Unnao
Kanpur has reported 123 Zika virus cases so far
Zika virus is transmitted primarily by the Aedes mosquito
Uttar Pradesh`s Kanpur city has reported a total of 123 cases of Zika virus so far, informed Additional Chief Secretary (Health) Amit Mohan Prasad.
First case of Zika virus was reported in UP
The infected patient is an IAF personnel
Dengue is a viral infection commonly spread by the Aedes mosquito.
The molecular structure of the proteins involved in the Zika virus' replication process was first described only a year ago.
The number of infections nationwide is already 38 per cent higher than last year, when 55,150 people were diagnosed with dengue and 97 died, according to the Health Ministry.
According to reports, over 100 people have lost their lives in the southern state of Kerala, succumbing to various diseases, such as, H1N1, leptospirosis and dengue from January till date.
Tests confirmed the compounds halted the virus and stopped it from replicating without damage to host mammalian cells, researchers said.
The flavivirus is known to be carried by an infected Aedes species mosquito (Ae. aegypti and Ae. Albopictus) that are also responsible for the transmission of dengue and chikungunya viruses.
The research team will use tumor cells in the lab and in mice to test the effect of the Zika virus on glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive form of brain tumour.
The new predictive model, detailed in the journal eLife, could streamline the initial step of pinpointing Zika vectors.
A global pharmaceutical major has come up with a vaccine on dengue but it has not been introduced in India.
Chikungunya is a viral disease spread by the Aedes mosquito, which is also the carrier of dengue. It's symptoms include fever and acute joint pains.
The study revealed that the RNAi can be targeted specifically at the species in question, and does not harm other insects, such as bees and other pollinators.
Like Zika virus, Dengue is transmitted by the mosquito, Aedes aegypti. Dengue, called break bone fever, is notable for causing severe bone and muscle pain, headache and pain behind the eyes.
According to WHO, twenty-one countries and territories of America have reported cases of the virus since transmission was first detected in Brazil in May 2015.
The mosquito-borne disease, for which there is no vaccine or treatment, has been quickly spreading across the Americas since May
The health department said the residents had mild cases of the virus and have since recovered.
It has since become the country worst affected by microcephaly, with 270 confirmed cases and 3,448 suspected cases, up from 147 in 2014.
