Non Communicable Diseases

Heart Attack

A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to part of the heart muscle is blocked, causing tissue damage from oxygen deprivation. The first line of emergency treatment for myocardial infarction (MI), also known as a heart attack. Causes Causes: Coronary artery disease from atherosclerosis leads to plaque buildup and rupture, forming clots […]

Prevention and Control Measures for Zika Virus Infection

Zika virus, primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, requires integrated strategies focusing on Vector Control Strategies Vector Control Strategies: – Personal Protection Personal Protection:- Use DEET (20% to 50%), IR3535 (Insect Repellent 3535), oil of lemon eucalyptus, or picaridin repellents on exposed skin and clothing, reapplying as directed; prioritize during daytime when Aedes are active. Wear […]

History of Zika Virus

Zika virus has no truly ancient history, as it was first identified in the mid-20th century during research on yellow fever in Africa. Scientists from the yellow fever research institute funded by the Rockefeller Foundation first isolated the Zika virus in 1947. Discovery of Zika Virus Discovery:- Scientists isolated the Zika virus in April 1947 […]

Transmission Of Zika Virus 

Transmission Of Zika Virus  Zika virus primarily circulates through a sylvatic cycle involving non-human primates and forest-dwelling Aedes mosquitoes, but human outbreaks follow an urban transmission cycle with Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus as key vectors. Aedes mosquitoes act as the definitive host, and humans as the amplifying host. This cycle involves an extrinsic period […]

Zika Virus Symptoms

Zika Virus Symptoms. Zika virus is primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which bite mostly during the daytime. Most people with Zika virus infection do not develop symptoms (up to 80% of people are asymptomatic). In symptomatic cases, the illness is usually mild and self-limiting. When symptoms occur, they include mild fever, rash, conjunctivitis, muscle and […]

Key Structure of Zika Virus

Zika Virus Structure Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that primarily spreads through bites from infected Aedes mosquitoes, such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. It belongs to the Flaviviridae family and the Flavivirus genus. The Zika virus structure consists of a single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome enclosed in an icosahedral nucleocapsid, surrounded by a lipid […]

Laboratory Diagnosis, Treatment and Clinical Management of Zika Virus

Laboratory Diagnosis, Treatment, and Clinical Management of Zika Virus. Diagnosis Infection with Zika virus may be suspected based on symptoms of persons living in or visiting areas with higher Zika virus transmission and/or Aedes mosquito vector density. A diagnosis of Zika virus infection can only be confirmed by laboratory tests of blood or other body […]

Prevention and Control Measures for Chandipura Encephalitis

Prevention and Control Measures for Chandipura Encephalitis. Chandipura encephalitis virus (CHPV), caused by Chandipura virus and transmitted primarily by phlebotomine sandflies, has prevention focused on vector control targeting sandflies, personal protection, and public health strategies. Sandflies are easily controlled because they do not move long distances from the place of their breeding and resting sites. […]

Treatment for Chandipura Encephalitis Virus (CHPV)

Treatment For CHPV Treatment for Chandipura encephalitis virus (CHPV) infection is mainly supportive, as there is currently no specific antiviral therapy available. Supportive Care Supportive Care: Fever management using antipyretics like paracetamol to reduce high-grade fever. Hydration with intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration, especially in patients with vomiting. Seizure control using anticonvulsant medications such as […]
