2015 Chikungunya Health Threat Increases

Chikungunya To Spread In The United States

Being aware of the chikungunya virus or CHICKV, and it's spread has been a an interest of mine since I first heard about it almost two years ago. It is spreading around the world at an alarming rate and is carried and transmitted by the Aedes lbopictus mosquito which comes out during the day and night, loves to go in homes, and can overwinter, and live further north than a lot of other types of mosquitoes. The Aedes lbopictus mosquito is already in the Eastern United States. It's just a matter of time before it picks up the virus.

Recently, Lindsay Lohan, contracted it in French Polynesia giving the virus a little more public awareness. A new article from Yahoo News has it at the top of their list of new health threats we will be seeing in 2015. Read more here:

Asian tiger mosquitoes are very prevalent here in South Florida and will be the most common vector of these illnesses. They are silent and even bite during the day.

The Asian tiger mosquito is also adjusting its actions and has the ability to neglect the beginning of fall, hold off hibernation, and prolong its egg-laying period. More time to reproduce permits more Asian tiger mosquitoes in northern latitudes, equally as among the worst illness they could bring showed up near AMERICA coasts.

Chikungunya Virus | Chick V. and Dengue Fever to Become Prevalent

News reports on chikungunya got their pace last December when the disease initially appeared on the Caribbean isle of St. Martin. Our company know it come from East Africa, just how the Makonde people in Africa named it for the contorted pose connected to its painful arthritis-like symptoms, that the variety of confirmed or thought cases in the Caribbean has passed 25,000, which it is very likely to spread to the UNITED STATES landmass. There is little or no conversation of the infection' propensity to mutate.

Although the outbreak is driven by the yellow fever mosquito, which thrives just in the tropics, current alterations allow the chikungunya infection to be brought 100 times more effectively by the Asian tiger mosquito.

This brand-new infection pressure infected hundreds of hundreds of people on Reunion Isle in the Indian Ocean in 2005; regarding 255,000 instances were reported. Lots of individuals died and thousands experienced higher fever and extreme physical pain.

South Florida Alert! New - Dangerous, Mosquito Virus Coming To America

Mosquito Borne Virus Chikungunya Alert for Florida

We already have dengue fever coming to our area, but now we have an even more dangerous mosquito born virus moving in as well. This new virus, Called Chick V, broken-broken, because of it's debilitating effects has already started in the French Caribbean islands of Martinique, Guadeloupe and St. Barthelemy, and on Monday, the British Virgin Islands reported their first cases. This is all happening during the height of tourism season which will cause the disease to spread more rapidly

due to infected tourists bringing the disease home with them. 

This virus originally was found in Tanzania in the 1950's and was pretty much isolated to South Africa. The name, chikungunya means "that which bends up" in the Mozambique language because the body reacts to the affects of the virus and makes one stooped over or hunched up all the time.

Once infected, an individual will go through months and even years of fever and debilitating pain in the hands, feet, toes, knees, wrists, and other joints of their body. There is no cure for the virus and studies suggest that it, or it's side effects may remain with  individuals indefinitely. About 1 in 1000 die from the virus and are the very young, or a compromised immune system.

The mosquito borne virus was isolated until 2005 when it started to suddenly become widespread throughout Asia, the Middle East, and India where more than 2 million people have been affected there alone so far. It was subsequently found in Europe and has now made it's way to the Americas.

Due to lack of knowledge of the danger of this virus on these islands it is most likely that this virus which is similar, but much worse than dengue fever, will thrive in the Caribbean. The United States and  other parts of the Western hemisphere are vulnerable to the spread of this virus and this author believes it won't be long before we are seeing this problem in Florida, and then the rest of the States since different types of mosquitoes can carry this virus.
