What is West Nile Virus
This is a question that I have been asking myself for quite a long time now: When exactly did this virus, this mosquito-borne illness first come to light? And why do we still have issues with an effective vaccine for the prevention of West Nile Virus? Or are there more factors to consider than just the mosquitoes and how they carry it? There are even suggestions that maybe climate change may be a factor in not being able to prevent the spread and transmission of West Nile Virus. But when did this virus come to light and was it really identified as such a threat?
It would seem like we have known about this since 2015, but there are several other facts and things we do not know yet. In my research, I found out what the CDC (Center for Disease Control) considers West Nile Virus, its symptoms, the location where you can get infected, symptoms, most people affected by that disease, and how serious cases can be. So let us answer some questions about what causes West Nile Virus WNV.
What is West Nile Virus?
West Nile Virus (also referred to as WNV) is caused when an arboreal fish is bitten by mosquitoes carrying the virus, during the rainy season. That type of mosquito bite has been responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths around the globe. The number of human infections and mosquito bites reported is very small, but they are still considered a potential risk for many people, especially those who live near forests or areas where mosquitoes could cause transmission of West Nile Virus. Now how does that mosquito bite work? Well, when a person comes into contact with another person, he or she will begin to feel an itching headache, body aches, fever, chills, shaking chills, fatigue, and nausea. All these symptoms usually appear after an insect bite.
Symptoms of West Nile Virus
An infected individual might also experience severe headaches, dizziness, weakness, back pain, muscle (body) pain, vomiting, abdominal pain, pneumonia, or other complications that can be life-threatening. While West Nile Virus can infect children and adults, most patients recover from their illness within about four weeks, however, those infected with West Nile Virus infection are at increased risk for heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and heart problems, depending on how much it affects them. One study also linked this illness with higher mortality rates.
Another study concluded after studying over 20 million people that the age group ages 25 to 49 can bear higher risks as well. West Nile Virus also commonly occurs in areas where malaria has been proven to transmit. If someone is infected with West Nile Virus, they tend to have a high chance to become ill and become more likely to pass it on to others. An infected adult carrier can develop symptoms of West Nile Virus after being infected with one of the mosquito bites. Those infected adults can then pass the bug along to a new person. But what is the transmission mechanism between humans and animals? Humans spread West Nile Virus through mosquito bites. Viruses in mosquitoes get transmitted by biting or when an insect bites someone and becomes infected.
The reason mosquitoes only bite humans is that when an insect bites someone, it uses its mouthparts to latch onto its victim’s olfactory receptors. These receptors detect the presence of the scent of a specific animal that can create a strong response. A mosquito also picks up any odor that that insect produces while feeding, so mosquitoes will try to capture a victim’s sense of smell. By doing so, mosquitoes help keep the environment clean from the tiny creatures. They also attract particular species of birds and mammals so that they can stay healthy. To avoid finding themselves attacked by mosquitoes, humans often wear clothing that covers the nose and mouth area. Mosquitoes don’t really care what kind of people they feed off of.
Therefore, if one person wears clothing where people were infected with West Nile Virus and are walking around, then they are exposing themselves to people who are infected with West Nile Virus. Now it may be true that wearing clothes and following guidelines from experts and medical professionals greatly helps prevent catching West Nile Virus even in places where mosquitoes cannot bite you, but that doesn’t stop people from catching West Nile Virus without knowing that they will contract West Nile Virus, which is why it’s important to follow the guidelines and look for early signs, symptoms, fever, and rash when you go outside.
Symptoms of both Dengue Fever Viral Infection
Infections can occur when mosquitoes bite a person or a person becomes exposed to someone infected with Dengue Fever Viral Infection or Dengue Virus (which is not included in this list). Symptoms include fever which gets worse according to the severity of the person’s condition. However, if someone takes precautions like wearing a mask, and sanitizers, and staying away from sick animals and mosquitoes, they can survive the fever and symptoms and continue with normal life. On the other hand, Dengue Viral Infection is typically passed around by mosquitoes who might be infected with Dengue Syndrome, Dengue Fever, or Dengue. Dengue Virus doesn’t spread directly from one person to another, so, anyone can acquire Dengue Viral Infection.
People who have Dengue Virus or Dengue Fever can spread Dengue Viral Infection to anyone over a period of days, months, or years by having direct contact with someone infected or by having close contact with contaminated water or food or being around an infected person. Both Dengue Virus and Dengue Fever can spread to everyone in a region as well, but they can spread faster if people in that region have more exposure to Dengue Virus and Dengue Fever. Dengue Disease can be treated if one has mild or moderate Dengue. Dengue symptoms are similar to Dengue.
According to recent studies, Dengue and Dengue Fever are more contagious than Dengue and Dengue. Dengue Virus symptoms include fevers, aches, pains, redness, and bleeding gums. If someone has Dengue Illness, Dengue Symptoms are a good indicator to see. Doctors sometimes recommend that Dengue should be avoided at all costs and avoided as much as possible. After treatment, Dengue can either be cured or can continue to worsen over time. Infected individuals need to take precautions against getting infected by mosquitoes or by going outside.
They can use masks and even have mosquito nets to protect themselves against catching Dengue or Dengue Fever and spreading Dengue or Dengue Viral Infection. Dengue symptoms include fever and joint pain. Dengue is highly contagious, but it doesn’t infect others by itself. Due to Dengue fever and Dengue Viral Infection, Dengue Fever or Dengue viruses are considered endemic pathogens. Dengue Outbreak is a rare event, so it shouldn’t affect large numbers of people in a region. Dengue fever and Dengue Viral Infection are two different illnesses, so doctors recommend treating each case differently depending on your health condition.
Treatment for Dengue is quite simple, and a doctor’s recommendation is needed. Dengue Symptoms tend to disappear after taking medication and are not permanent. Patients can recover completely after treatment. Dengue is treatable and is easily prevented if people follow precautions. Dengue can spread to people in urban areas such as China, India, Indonesia, and Nigeria. Dengue also spreads to North America and Europe. Dengue Vaccine is available for free to use around the world, but the United States and Canada aren’t currently using it yet and there may be difficulties in distributing an efficient and accurate vaccination program. Once Dengue Disease happens to spread, people must learn to live with the effects and learn how to overcome the Dengue Symptoms.
Dengue Vaccines are safe to consume and they aren’t harmful to humans. Dengue Vaccines are made from non-infectious parasites that have been genetically modified to grow in mosquitoes and protect users from both Dengue V and Dengue Fever viruses. Dengue Vaccines are produced mainly from plasmids of genes derived from common cold viruses which can help fight against Dengue. Dengue Vaccines are easy to produce; scientists simply grow and manufacture bacteria and make antibodies.
Symptoms and Effects of Malaria
Malaria is caused by parasites transmitted by mosquitoes that live in the blood of humans and animals, mostly in parts of Africa and Asia. More than 99% of the population of Africa and more than half of the global population lives in countries that are endemic to Malaria, including Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Botswana. In addition to a high mortality rate, there is a great amount of suffering associated with this disease.
Malaria is known to be deadly in every country in the world. About 90% of people with Malaria die before they know they are infected with this disease, making many individuals believe it’s very easy for a person to catch Malaria. Malaria is endemic to parts of the earth around the equatorial regions of Africa, South America, Central America, Australia, Asia, Southern Europe, Western Europe, Oceania, and New Zealand.
Some people who think Malaria is not dangerous to say it isn’t the same disease that killed Nelson Mandela and former President Jimmy Carter, though it is the same type of parasite that is causing Chagas disease. Chagas is a fatal condition that kills millions of people each year around Latin and South America. Chagas is a disease transmitted by mosquitoes and its main source is the Caribbean Sea.
Scientists have created vaccines to combat Chagas, and most people have already gotten enough immunity to protect their bodies from the effects of the disease. Though Malaria is not a lethal disease due to its absence of blood-sucking parasites, Malaria is a respiratory disease that can kill a patient from breathing in the air, which can be very frightening. This condition is curable through the administration of antimalarial medications such as
