Dengue fever - mosquito-borne (Aedes aegypti) viral disease associated with urban environments; manifests as sudden onset of fever and severe headache; occasionally produces shock and hemorrhage leading to death in 5% of cases.Yellow fever - mosquito-borne viral disease; severity ranges from influenza-like symptoms to severe hepatitis and hemorrhagic fever; occurs only in tropical South America and sub-Saharan Africa, where most cases are reported; fatality rate is less than 20%.Japanese Encephalitis - mosquito-borne (Culex tritaeniorhynchus) viral disease associated with rural areas in Asia; acute encephalitis can progress to paralysis, coma, and death; fatality rates 30%.African Trypanosomiasis - caused by the parasitic protozoa…
The disease is caused by the yellow fever virus and is spread by the bite of the female mosquito (Fig. 2) (2). It only infects humans, other primates, and several species of mosquitoes. In cities, it is primarily spread by mosquitoes of the Aedes aegypti species. The virus is an RNA virus of the genus Flavivirus (Fig. 3)(3). The disease may be difficult to tell apart from other illnesses, especially in the early stages.[2] To confirm a suspected case, blood sample testing with polymerase chain reaction is required.(4)…
The Dengue virus is known to be a mosquito-borne viral infection and is a major threat to health worldwide. It is a mosquito-borne infection that causes a severe flu-like illness and is also known as break bone fever. Fifty to one hundred million people are infected each year mostly in tropical and sub-tropical climates of the world. In the U.S, cases seen affected with the Dengue virus are mostly from Americans who traveled out of the country. Infection of the dengue virus causes dengue fever. The virus weakens the circulatory system and leads to a deadly hemorrhaging.…
Yellow fever - a tropical acute viral haemorrhagic disease - is a substantial burden that nearly a billion people in the world are currently vulnerable to. This disease is caused by a flavivirus that is transmitted via the bite of infected mosquitos. The name ‘yellow fever’ holds true to symptoms that are commonly associated with those infected which include jaundice, otherwise known as yellowing, of the skin and sclera due to liver damage. Severe cases result in shock, internal bleeding, jaundice and organ failure.…

The Lancet is a world's leading general medical journal and specialty journals in Oncology, Neurology and Infectious Diseases. This qualitative study identifies the opinions of researchers about the dengue vaccine, supported with various facts on the development of the disease dengue fever, one of the mosquito-borne diseases and identifies other research methods being done by organizations such as the, World Health Organization (WHO). This journal has additionally informs experts on the specific field on the newest and most detailed information regarding the development of dengue vaccine and the genetics information the virus contains, supported with researchers opinion regarding the development which also contains the threat it poses if left untreated. The conclusions were that there are still unanswered questions regarding whether or not an effective and safe vaccine for the disease, dengue fever. The current development in vaccine is already funded, though limited, due to four different types of serotypes a virus may contain; a vaccine has to work against all four serotypes. Both authors, Scott B Halstead and Jacqueline Deen, is both equipped with the necessary knowledge to write a perfectly reliable text such as this journal as they are both conducting their own practice regarding the mosquito-borne disease, dengue fever. The paper provides detailed scientific facts in organized forms, obtained by the Department of Preventive Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD, and Pediatric Dengue Vaccine Initative, International Vaccine Institute. The article provides a well-informed textual information which…

These mosquitoes get the infected blood form humans and transmit to a healthy person through bites. The albopictus and aegypti types of mosquitoes are the main carrier of this infection. Few cases are found with an infected mother transferring Chikungunya to its infants. These are also clinical spread through blood transfusion and organ transplant conduct with infected person blood or the organs. The main symptom is associated with severe fever and joint pain in the infected person body. When one gets infected the symptoms may show within a week time. Some may get well soon or take a month time after supportive treatments. The other signs are related with appearance of red color rashes near the sensitive skins. Frequent head ache may be felt time to time. The joint swelling and the muscle ache are the other symptoms caused on the infected…
Mosquito bite not only will result to allergic reaction, skin irritation, redness and itching, they can also bring about dangerous diseases. Mosquito disease contributes a great crisis on health and even in the economy. Mosquitoes are horrific pests that transmit hazardous viruses and bacteria, in which can cause disease like West Nile virus disease, malaria, and dengue fever. The viruses can cause illness and even death. (Anonymous, 2013)…
