How does the transmission of dengue fever occur?
Dengue fever can occur when a mosquito carrying the arbovirus bites a human, passing the virus on to the new host.
What are the diagnosis for dengue?
Clinical diagnosis of Dengue is conducted by laboratory testing on human serum and plasma tested for DENV SubT and dengue NS-1 (DENG NS-1), dengue IgG and IgM to confirm the presence of infection. To learn more, Visit: Dengue Biospecimens for Research l Order Online
Is dengue fever caught by human contact?
Dengue is primarily transmitted by the bite of a certain type of mosquito (see related link.) Dengue may also be transmitted via infected blood products and through organ donation. Transmission from mother to child during pregnancy or at birth may also occur.
Can dogs get dengue fever?
Human beings and mosquitoes are the only known natural hosts for dengue viruses. Some animals, such as mice, can be infected with Dengue virus in a laboratory setting under very special conditions but as far as I know this has not been done with dogs and there has never been a documented case of Dengue virus infecting dogs in the wild.
How does dengue fever kill you?
Dengue Fever, West Nile Virus and Malaria have to develope in the body of the Vector ( our mosquito). Most authorities seem to agree that if a mosquito that has taken a blood meal from a carrier (an infected bird, human etc) needs at least 9 days before it can transmit the virus to a new host.We in North America have to get Dengue the old fashion way. Infected host via the Vector (mosquito) to new host. In most cases the first bout with this visus can be Flu like symptoms. Unfortunately the second bout with Dengue Fever is not as forgiving as the first.
Why there is fever if the patient has Dengue?
Fever is one of the hallmark symptoms of dengue fever, a viral infection caused by the dengue virus, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. There are several reasons why fever occurs in dengue patients: Viral Replication: Dengue virus replicates inside the human body after being transmitted through a mosquito bite. As the virus multiplies, it triggers an immune response. Fever is a common immune response to viral infections. When the body detects the presence of the virus, it raises its internal temperature as a defense mechanism to help fight off the infection. Cytokine Release: Dengue fever can lead to a phenomenon known as a cytokine storm. This is an excessive immune response characterized by the release of a large number of cytokines (small proteins) that play a key role in inflammation. The excessive release of cytokines can lead to a fever and other symptoms like joint pain and muscle aches. Vascular Permeability: In severe cases of dengue, the virus can affect the permeability of blood vessels, causing leakage of plasma from the blood vessels into surrounding tissues. This can lead to a drop in blood pressure and shock, a condition known as dengue shock syndrome. Fever is one of the early signs of this syndrome. Immune Response: As the immune system continues to respond to the virus, it produces antibodies to fight the infection. This immune response can also contribute to the fever and other symptoms. It's important to note that not all cases of dengue fever are severe, and not everyone with dengue will experience the same symptoms. Some individuals may have mild cases with relatively low-grade fevers, while others may develop more severe forms of the disease with high fevers and potentially life-threatening complications. If someone suspects they have dengue fever, it's important to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and management, especially in areas where dengue is endemic. Dengue can be a serious illness, and early detection and medical care can significantly improve outcomes.
Can you show the stats of human who they believe been cured by this tawa tawa plants?
yes because it is proven here in the Philippines..particularly to my brother who is suffering then from dengue fever...
What are the human impact of mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes can carry many infectious and fatal diseases including the West Nile Virus, yellow fever, Malaria, and Dengue Fever. For the most part if you live in North America, they just cause itchy bumps.
Steps taken to minimise dengue fever by the government?
Control of dengue fever currently relies on control of the mosquito vectors through mosquito nets, parasiticide sprays and removal of standing water from areas around human settlements. There are many researchers around the world working on treatments and vaccines for dengue fever, although nothing has yet been found effective enough to be implemented on a large scale.
What are examples of 3 harmful viruses?
human immunodeficiency virus, influenza virus, hepatitis A virus measles, chicken pox herpes , VD Marburg Pneumonic plague ,Bubonic plague Lassa Fever Dengue Fever cholera ,malaria rocky mountain spotted fever Ebola ,and the hemorrhagic diseases chicken pox are just a few
What are the causes and effects of dengue?
The cause of dengue is being bitten by a mosquito which has taken a blood meal from an infected carrier, usually human. Much the same as Malaria, which is only transmitted from human to human by the mosquito. West Nile Virus, EEE and other "flu like symptom" illnesses can be transmitter by mosquito from a human, bird, horse etc. The problem with Dengue is if you get it the second time it can be deadly. Check out CDC: See Related Links Click on Florida to see how bad it really is. What we need is a non-toxic pesticide that also keeps repelling mosquitoes for more than a few hours.
When does dengue attack?
Whenever one is bitten by a Vector mosquito. The mosquito becomes a vector after it has bitten an dengue infected carrier - usually another Human.
