MOSQUITO CARRIER Dengue

Flavivirus

Fever, frontal headache, retro orbital pain or pain in the back of the eyes, nausea and vomiting. Dengue fever is also commonly known as breakbone fever because it also causes arthralgia, which is pain of the joints. Chills, back pain and swelling of the lymph nodes are also common symptoms of dengue fever. The most noticeable sign of the disease is a maculopapular or scarlatiniform rash that appears on the trunk or extremities such as the hands

The best method for the prevention of this disease is vector control. The use of insecticides is strongly urged as well as the elimination of water holding containers that are perfect breeding grounds for Aedes aegytpi.

Chikungunya

Alpha virus

Muscle pain, headache, nausea, fatigue and rash. The joint pain is often very debilitating, but usually lasts for a few days or may be prolonged to weeks.

No vaccine is available for prevention of Chikungunya Fever. So measures for prevention and control are the avoidance of mosquito bites and reduction in density of vector.

FUNGI Candidiasis

Candida albicans

Redness, itching and discomfort, though complications may be severe or even fatal if left untreated in certain populations

Some practitioners of alternative medicine have promoted a fictitious condition called "candidiasis hypersensitivity" and sold dietary supplements as a supposed cure; a number of them have been prosecuted. Use of ethanol solution application, though it is not advisable for all versions of the disease, depending on afflicted region and progression and because of pain complications. The use of diuretics concerning infection of genitalia may also be employed to stop and eliminate the infection, though the process may take several weeks. In addition, the fungal yeast spores are notorious for recurring in more than a quarter of patients.

Zeaspora

Fungus

Zeaspora can, however, be manifested as color ranging anywhere from white to dark gray in later stages[2] and feeling from smooth and damp to rough and irregular in later stages.
