    Yellow Fever

    What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words ‘yellow fever’? People who alters to the color yellow? An incurable disease that can cause self-destruction? Yes and no. The keyword here is ‘mosquitoes’. That’s right, tiny mosquitoes that carry a virus around to their victims. Yellow fever is only found in parts of South America and Africa with two different sequences of illness. Yellow fever has been the key to several upsetting outbreaks. The symptoms to this virus contain many unusual and unpleasant results; fortunately a prevention was developed that would give a ten year immunity from the disease. Some people’s first thought of yellow fever is where it’s origin to this virus.…

    Malaria

    Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by protists (a type of microorganism) of the genus Plasmodium. It begins with a bite from an infected female Anopheles mosquito, which introduces the protists through saliva into the circulatory system. In the blood, the protists travel to the liver to mature and reproduce. Malaria causes symptoms that typically include fever and headache, which in severe cases can progress to coma or death. The disease is widespread in tropical andsubtropical regions in a broad band around the equator, including much of Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and the Americas.…

    Dengue Fever

    Many of the common illnesses in the United States (including the common cold, many viral causes of diarrhea, and influenza or "flu") are spread because the viruses that cause these illness can be passed directly from person to person. However, dengue fever cannot be passed directly from one infected person to another. Instead, the virus responsible for dengue fever requires an intermediate vector, a mosquito, that carries the virus from one host to another. The mosquito that carries the arbovirus responsible for dengue fever is the same type of mosquito that can transmit other diseases, including yellow fever. This mosquito is called Aedes egypti. The most common victims are children younger than 10 years of age.…

    Dengue Virus

    With more than one-third of the world’s population living in areas at risk for infection, dengue virus is a leading cause of illness and death in the tropics and subtropics. As many as 400 million people are infected yearly. Dengue is caused by any one of four related viruses transmitted by mosquitoes. There are not yet any vaccines to prevent infection with dengue virus and the most effective protective measures are those that avoid mosquito bites. When infected, early recognition and prompt supportive treatment can substantially lower the risk of medical complications and death.…
