While the country was immersed in the fight against the COVID epidemic, an Indian Air Force officer was infected with the Zika virus, and in a short period of time those virus cases came to light in many parts of the country. Zika virus was discovered in 1947 in monkeys in the forests of Uganda. Zika traces were later identified in humans in 1952.
The virus, which has been confined to Africa and Asia for the next 30 years, has since spread to other continents. With the outbreak of Zika in the United States in 2015-16, the World Health Organization considered it a serious threat to humanity. Zika cases were first reported in India in 2017 in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, followed by Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh the following year. The virus, which has been stagnant for two years, came to light in Kerala and Maharashtra last July. The rising number of cases in Uttar Pradesh seems to have alarmed the country. Prevention Widespread Zika is a virus of the Flaviviridae family. Dengue, yellow fever, and Japanese encephalitis viruses also belong to this family. These viruses are spread by mosquito bites. The most common Andes Egypt, and Andes mosquito species in our country act as vectors of the Zika virus. These mosquitoes, which roam during the day, also spread dengue and chicken pox.
Zika is transmitted not only by mosquitoes but also from mother to fetus through blood, organ transplants and body fluids. Symptoms usually appear within 3-14 days after infection. The main symptoms are fever, redness of the eyes, joints, muscles, hands, feet, head, eye pain, and tingling. Most people with Zika virus infection have no symptoms at all.
Complications such as miscarriage, stillbirth, and premature birth when the virus is transmitted from mother to fetus.
May arise. Babies can also be born with permanent deformities, such as microcephaly. As a result, the mind slows down and growth defects occur. Such births first appeared in Brazil in 2015-16. Zika virus can cause a paralytic disease called Geelong syndrome. Signs of this virus include blood, urine, severe consequences if not awake can be confirmed with semen samples. To date, there is no definitive treatment for this. Therefore, prevention of disease is the only way before us. An estimated 46 crore people in India are at risk of contracting the Zika virus outbreak. Among the people about the tropical climate of our country, the spread of infections and infections
Lack of awareness of Russ is likely to outweigh Zika virus infections throughout the year. Although dengue cases are relatively rare in India, some chapters four suggest that dengue may be more severe and that the effects of the Zika virus may be more severe in infected people. The Government of India has prepared an action plan to curb the Zika virus.
It is constantly reviewing the possibility of disease transmission, preparing laboratories and focusing on mosquito control. Raising awareness among the public is essential to prevent this virus. Governments should pay special attention to the care of pregnant women in particular. Mosquitoes must be controlled The Government of India has taken several steps to control mosquitoes under the National Infectious Diseases Control Program. However, the diseases transmitted by them still pose challenges to India. Their offspring are thriving as governments do not focus on modern methods of mosquito control. As a result, even some dengue cases remain stable. Chicken is quoting. State Governments should take the initiative to adopt the latest technologies like Mosquito Control Smart Mosquito Density System launched by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in 2017. There should be a large-scale public awareness campaign on the cleanliness of the environment in collaboration with local organizations. Governments should pay special attention to waste management and proper drainage of sewage. For a country already plagued with dengue and chicken pox cases, the consequences could be devastating if the Zika virus outbreak were added.
