This document discusses arboviruses, which are viruses transmitted by arthropods like mosquitoes and ticks. It describes several important virus families and genera that cause diseases in humans, including Togaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Bunyaviridae. Specific important arboviruses mentioned are dengue virus, yellow fever virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and others. The document discusses the virus life cycles, vectors, geographic distribution, pathogenesis and clinical symptoms of diseases caused by these arboviruses. Prevention and control methods like surveillance, vector control and vaccination are also summarized.
1. Dengue is caused by a virus transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
2. Infection causes dengue fever or a more severe form known as dengue hemorrhagic fever.
3. Secondary infection with a different virus subtype increases the risk of developing dengue hemorrhagic fever due to antibody-dependent enhancement.
Dengue fever is the fastest emerging arboviral infection spread
by Aedes mosquitoes with major public health consequences in
over 100 tropical and sub-tropical countries in South-East Asia,
the Western Pacific, and South and Central America. Up to 2.5
billion people globally live under the threat of dengue fever and its
severe forms—dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock
syndrome (DSS). More than 75% of these people, or approximately
1.8 billion, live in the Asia-Pacific Region. As the disease spreads to
new geographical areas, the frequency of the outbreaks is increasing
along with changing disease epidemiology. It is estimated that 50
a million cases of dengue fever occur worldwide annually and half a
million people suffering from DHF require hospitalization each year,
a very large proportion of whom (approximately 90%) are children
less than five years old. About 2.5% of those affected with dengue
die of the disease.
Dengue virus is a mosquito-borne virus that causes dengue fever and its more severe forms, dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. It is transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. There are four distinct serotypes of the virus. Infection with one serotype provides lifelong immunity to that serotype but only short-term immunity to the others. Dengue is widespread in tropical and subtropical parts of the world, with severe dengue being a leading cause of hospitalization and death among children in some Asian and Latin American countries. There is no vaccine available for dengue prevention, so control of the mosquito vector through environmental management and insect

Ebola virus disease is a severe and often fatal illness in humans that causes hemorrhagic fever. It spreads through direct contact with body fluids of infected people or animals like bats. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle pain and weakness, vomiting, diarrhea and internal/external bleeding. There is no approved vaccine or treatment, but supportive care such as rehydration helps recovery. Containing outbreaks requires identifying contacts, safe burials, hygiene and separating healthy from sick individuals.
Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes that is a major public health problem globally. It is endemic in over 100 countries and the distribution is comparable to malaria. There are four serotypes of the dengue virus. Dengue fever presents as a severe flu-like illness, while dengue hemorrhagic fever is a more severe form that can be fatal if untreated. Management involves treatment of symptoms, fluid replacement, monitoring for signs of plasma leakage, and blood transfusion if needed. Prevention relies on reducing mosquito breeding sites and personal protection against bites. Currently there is no vaccine for dengue.
Dengue is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes that infects around 100-400 million people annually worldwide. It is caused by the dengue virus of which there are 4 serotypes. Infection with one type provides lifelong immunity to that type but subsequent infections with other types increase the risk of severe dengue. The disease ranges from mild fever to life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome. There is no vaccine for dengue prevention currently.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

⚫ Enveloped ssRNA virus.
⚫ Virions 98nm in diameter with a characteristic square grid-
like structure.
⚫ Genome consists of three RNA segments: L, M, and S.
⚫ most widely distributed zoonotic rodent-borne viruses
⚫ causes 2 clinical syndromes:
⚫ haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Asia
⚫ hantavirus pulmonary syndrome(HPS) in Americas
129. ⚫ Thottapalayam virus: first hantavirus isolated from an
insectivores in 1964 in Vellore, South India.
⚫ Serological investigation of patients with pyrexic
illness revealed presence of anti-hantavirus IgM
antibodies in 14.7% of them.
⚫ Sero-positivity of hantavirus infections in general
population is about 4%
⚫ People who live and work in close proximity with
rodents have a greater risk of acquiring hantavirus
infections
⚫ Molecular and serological evidence of hantavirus
infections in rodents and man documented in India
130. Diagnosis
- IF
, HAI, SRH, ELISAs have been
⚫ Serological diagnosis
developed
⚫ Direct detection of antigen - more sensitive than serology tests
in the early diagnosis of the disease. The virus antigen can be
demonstrated in the blood or urine.
⚫ RT-PCR - found to of great use in diagnosing hantavirus
pulmonary syndrome.
⚫ Virus isolation - isolation of virus from urine early in hantavirus
disease. Isolation of virus from blood is less consistent.
⚫ Immunohistochemistry - useful in diagnosing HPS.
