Health: Aedes mosquito spreading dengue, and zika virus....

By now, everybody seem to be aware how a virus is wrecking havoc across Central and South America....

Zika virus, which was just one of the numerous viruses, with mild pathogenicity has alerted health emergencies....

It is related to Dengue virus, and thought to be innocuous....

While dengue has expanded its range and a significant proportion of global population are at risk of succumbing to it, the rise of Zika has certainly made humanity press the panic button..

Considering how fast viruses evolve and render vaccines defunct, the worries are not irrational...

How brutal, this virus targets unborn babies...shrinking their neural system, damaging optic nerves, among other unknown effects.........'microcephaly', the condition where head size is much smaller than normal....

Researchers are trying to find a vaccine........even I am doing my share by researching on its pathogenic mechanism.........

But, developing a safe, effective vaccine is not easy........and the disease is a current problem.

With the enormous digital information at our disposal, please self-educate yourself and spread the word to the vulnerable communities........
Infectious diseases are scary........and the mosquito vectors do not discriminate between healthy and infected.....so, all of us are potential victims....

The mosquitoes are expanding their range as the world becomes warmer.....its critical to be vigilant.....everybody should make sure that no garbage or stagnant water occurs near residential area...for those things help breeding of the mosquitoes.

(This puddle can breed  mosquitoes enough to kill thousands of us)...seen in a park in Irvine..

Also, this cup lodged above the Chinese rain tree by some miscreant can hold water enough for the mosquitoes to lay eggs and spread..
