Dengue fever

Viral vaccines less generally available than those listed in die table include Congo Crimean haemorrhagic fever vaccine, dengue fever vaccine, Japanese encephalitis B vaccine, smallpox vaccine, tick borne encephalitis vaccine, and Venezuelan encephalitis vaccine. 

A winter outbreak of typhus had been stopped for the first time in history. DDT also halted a flea-borne plague epidemic in West Africa a dengue fever epidemic on Saipan in the West Pacific and a typhus epidemic during the U.S. occupation of Japan in late 1945. When the Allies liberated German concentration and labor camps, their lice-laden inmates were dusted with DDT before they were evacuated. Typhus had been a major cause of death in the camps. The commander of Auschwitz, where three million... 

Suggested Alternatives for Differential Diagnosis Adenoviruses, arenaviruses, California encephalitis, coxsackieviruses, cytomegalovirus, dengue fever, eastern equine encephalitis, echoviruses, infectious mononucleosis, Japanese encephalitis, Lyme disease, meningitis, parainfluenza virus, rhinoviruses, bacterial sepsis, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), St Louis encephalitis, upper respiratory infection, Venezuelan encephalitis, and West Nile encephalitis. 

Suggested Alternatives for Differential Diagnosis Other forms of encephalitis (e.g., California, Eastern Equine, St Louis, West Nile, Murray Valley), malaria, dengue fever, meningitis, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, enteroviruses, herpes simplex, and Nipah virus. 

Suggested Alternatives for Differential Diagnosis Acanthamoeba, louse-borne relapsing fever, dengue fever, Rift Valley fever, hemorrhagic fevers, leptospirosis, malaria, typhoid fever, typhus, liver failure, and hepatitis.

Katsuda et al. [53] collected A. aegypti larvae from 11 districts (Fig. 10) in Thailand where dengue fever was prevalent. After rearing in the laboratory, the colonies were tested for KT50 values using dl,d-r80-allethrin 0.5% mosquito coils in a 25-m3 semi-field test in addition to KD50 and LD50 values to dl,d-r80-allethrin by the topical application method. 

Caution With some noteworthy exceptions, there is no cure or established drug treatment for viral hemorrhagic fever. All the VHF agents, except for dengue fever, are infectious by aerosol in the laboratory.

Chagas disease prevalent in South and Central America, affecting 16-18 million people in 21 countries. Causes 13,000 deaths per year. Infection is often asymptomatic for years but can eventually cause fatal heart damage. Two drugs are available for treatment, but can have serious and frequent side-effects. Dengue fever more than one-third of the world s population are under threat from this mosquito-borne disease. Responsible tor 21,000 deaths per year. No specific treatment exists. 

The timing of Muller s discovery insured its early application in the Mediterranean and South Pacific theaters of World War II to eliminate mosquito-vectored diseases malaria, filariasis, dengue fever also typhoid fever, carried by lice and fleas. 

There are urgent economic reasons for trying to control predation in Africa by biting, sucking flies and acarines (ticks and mites). Among them are identified the vectors of mammalian parasitic and virus diseases such as trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), filariasis such as onchocerciasis (river blindness), leishmaniasis, malaria, Dengue fever and East Coast fever (Theileriosis) (ECF). 

Dengue is a mosquito-borne infection that, in recent years, has become a major international public health concern. Dengue fever is a severe, flu-like illness that affects infants, young children, and adults but rarely causes death. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a potentially lethal complication and is today a leading cause of childhood death in several Asian countries. 

Globally there are an estimated 50 to 100 million cases of dengue fever and approximately 500,000 cases of DHF each year. 

Potential waterborne diseases that follow tsunamis include cholera diarrheal or fecal-oral diseases, such as amebiasis, cryptosporidiosis, cyclosporiasis, giardiasis, hepatitis A and E, leptospirosis, parasitic infections, rotavirus, shigellosis, and typhoid fever animal- or mosquito-borne illness, such as plague, rabies, malaria, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue fever (and the potentially fatal complication dengue hemorrhagic shock syndrome) and wound-associated infections and diseases, such as tetanus. Mental health concerns are another consequence of tsunami events.
