Tropical Viral Diseases

Tropical Viral infections include chikungunia, dengue, rabies etc. Chikungunya is transmitted to humans by infected Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes causing fever and severe joint pains. Other symptoms of chikungunya include fatigue, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and rash etc. The disease shares its clinical symptoms with dengue and zika, and hence can be misdiagnosed in endemic areas. There is no cure for the disease and the treatment is focused only on relieving the symptoms. The virus is transmitted through the bites of infected female mosquitoes. Dengue fever is a mosquito- borne disease caused by the dengue virus. Symptoms begin 3-14 days after infection and include headache, high fever, muscle pain and joint pains, characteristic skin rash, and vomiting. Recovery generally takes about two to seven days.
