Pesticide-borne diseases caused by mosquitoes are common in more than 150 countries. Over 500 million people are infected by mosquito-related diseases, resulting in approximately 1 million deaths. Around 40 million Indians are infected with mosquito-borne diseases each year. Many diseases are caused by mosquitoes, including dengue, malaria, and brain fever. If these symptoms aren't detected quickly, they can become deadly.
India's most common mosquito-borne diseases include Malaria, Dengue, and Chikungunya. These diseases can be identified as follows:
Malaria
Plasmodium is the main cause of malaria. The most common symptoms of malaria include shivering, unstructured skin pimples, sweating, and headaches. A severe headache and body ache may occur when the body temperature rises to 105 degrees F.
Dengue
Also known as backbone fever, Dengue symptoms include headaches, muscle pain, joint pain, and muscle pain. In severe cases, it can lead to bleeding, which can cause death.
Chikungunya
The symptoms of Chikungunya are usually apparent within one week. Joint pain and fever can take control of the body. In some cases, rash, muscle pain, headaches, fatigue, and nausea may also be present. Other symptoms include severe pain in the body and swelling of the joints. Chikungunya causes more pain than dengue.
Prevention
There are no treatments that can be used to treat all mosquito-borne diseases. There are few anti-malarial drugs like chloroquine and artemisinin on the market. However, there aren't any specific treatments for Dengue or Chikungunya because they are both viral. There are very few ways to prevent mosquito-borne viruses.
It is best to be safe and take preventative measures to avoid dengue infection. Preventive measures are better than curative, as they say. These are some of the preventative measures that can help with dengue prevention:
Water storage
The best breeding ground for mosquitoes is stagnant water. You should keep water out of open containers. Instead, use containers with lids. To prevent mosquito breeding, water storages must be cleaned regularly. Regularly change the water in your flowerpots, buckets, and coolers At home.
Clear Surroundings
Clear your surroundings and remove unwanted items like flower vases, broken pots, oil drums, and tires. You should eliminate all traces of these items from your area. These are the main sources of water collection. To keep your house clean, you should regularly clean the roofs, floors, and furniture.
