Dengue Virus Infection

 

The dengue fever mosquito, called Aedes Aegypti, is a virus-incubating mosquito that spreads not only dengue but also other fatal diseases like Malaria, Chikungunya, Zika fever, Yellow fever and so on. The virus is spread through the infected mosquitoes when they bite humans in order to feed on blood. Read on to seek out more about this particular gene of mosquito. This disease-spreading mosquito is called Aedes Aegypti. Aedes is the name of the genus and Aegypti belongs to the subgenus, Stegomyia. The generic name ‘Aedes’ comes from the Greek word aÄ“dÄ“s meaning unpleasant. Even though some name changes were proposed, they were ignored worldwide in favour of the normal name. This type of mosquito is believed to possess originated in Africa then spread to tropical and subtropical areas. Dengue is an acute infectious disease of viral etiology characterized by biphasic fever, headache, pain in various parts of the body, prostration, rash, lymphadenopathy, and leukopenia. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a severe febrile disease characterized by abnormalities of hemostasis and increased vascular permeability, which in some instances results in a hypovolemic shock syndrome, dengue shock syndrome (DSS). A major public healthy problem throughout subtropical and tropical regions, dengue is probably the most important arthropod-borne viral disease in terms of human morbidity and mortality. For the last two centuries, dengue has been known by any of the following pseudonyms: break-bone fever, dandy fever, denguero, bouquet fever, giraffe fever, polka fever, or the 5-day or 7-day fever. Four distinct serotypes of the dengue virus (dengue-1, dengue-2, dengue-3, and dengue-4) exist, with numerous virus strains found worldwide.
