Explanation:
Malaria, chikungunya, and dengue are some of the common mosquito-borne fevers that can result in severe morbidity.
Dengue
dengue fever is nothing but a viral infection that is carried by the Aedes mosquito. This disease can be caused by one of four viruses, namely the DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4.
Chikungunya
main symptoms experienced by the patients include fever and joint pain. This is a virus that gets transferred from an infected female Aedes aegypti mosquito, also known as the ‘yellow fever mosquito’.
Malaria
Malaria is a life-threatening blood disease that is caused by a mosquito bite. This disease is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium. Once a person is infected, this parasite multiplies in the liver and then in the red blood cells (RBC).
Here are 8 different types of mosquitoes who causedisease
Aedes
Anopheles
Culex
Culiseta
Mansonia
Psorophora
Toxorhynchites
Wyeomyia
Mosquito bites are caused by the bite of a female mosquito. A female mosquito doesn’t necessarily bite you, but instead sucks blood as a part of their diet. The skin around this area is irritated and a circular bump appears on the skin.
The symptoms of a mosquito bite can vary. If the mosquito was infected by a disease or if an allergic reaction occurs, the symptoms could be more severe.
The common symptoms include:
Itchy and irritated skin
A raised, circular bump on the skin where the mosquito bite occurred
More severe symptoms can include:
An allergic reaction (hives, swollen throat, faintness, and wheezing)
Infection of a disease carried by a mosquito (fever, headache, body aches, rashes, nausea, eye irritation, and tiredness can accompany various diseases)
How are mosquito bites treated?
Mosquito bites typically do not need treatment. Topical anti-itch creams can be applied to lessen itchy skin and discomfort. However, if more severe symptoms (allergic reaction, fever, headache, body aches) appear after a bite, see your healthcare provider. Also, see a healthcare provider if you experience symptoms and have recently visited a place where mosquito-spread infections are common. Treatment will vary depending on the type and severity of the infection.
How do I prevent mosquito bites?
Mosquito bites can be prevented in several ways. These include:
Eliminating any standing water
Not travelling to an infected area
Wearing a bug spray registered with the EPA (typically containing DEET)
Wearing long pants and long sleeves
Utilizing screens over windows and doors
Staying indoors during the highest point of mosquito activity (dusk and dawn)
Treating clothing, tents, and net coverings with chemicals that repel mosquitoes
Sleeping under protective netting
