Dengue Virus India

Zika Virus Cases: The first case was found in 1947 in Uganda and since then it has spread to several parts of the world including Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, and the Americas.

The dengue virus evolved "dramatically" over the last few decades in India, according to a study led by scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), which stresses the need for developing a vaccine against the strains found in the country.

More than 60 people, including 50 children have died 'dengue haemorrhagic fever' - a severe form of the dengue virus - in western Uttar Pradesh over the past 10 days, with the majority - 50, including 40 children - reported from Firozabad district.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who was admitted to hospital on Wednesday after testing positive for COVID-19, underwent plasma therapy at a private hospital in the city today to help him fight the infectious virus

Dengue fever is quite common during the monsoon. Here are some prevention steps that can help you stay safe this season.

The first two Zika virus outbreaks were reported in India in early 2017. Both these outbreaks were successfully contained through intensive surveillance and vector management. After a year, Zika virus has again hit the country, this time in Jaipur. At least 22 people have tested positive for Zika virus in the 'Pink City'. Zika virus infection is a...

At least nine cases of dengue have been reported in Delhi in the first two months this year, indicating early spread of the virus carrying the vector-borne disease in the national capital.

This new genetic variant lead to an outbreak of dengue in Tamil Nadu and Kerala in 2012 and 2013 respectively.

People who are infected by Zika virus after having dengue fever do not appear to become more severely ill than those who have never had dengue, a study suggests.

Since there is no specific treatment or vaccine to prevent Zika virus, so prevention is key. One can prevent Zika by avoiding mosquito bites. Mosquitoes that spread Zika virus bite during the day and night.

Over 7,400 people have been afflicted with chikungunya in the national capital even as dengue cases continued to plateau in the city with a little over 3,000 persons having contracted the virus this season.

Scientists have discovered human proteins that Zika virus needs for replication by performing the first screen using gene editing tool CRISPR/Cas9, an advance that may help fight Zika, dengue and other emerging viral infections.

Scientists have successfully developed a low cost way to trap and destroy the eggs of the mosquito genus that spreads dengue, and is likely spreading the Zika virus.

Researchers have identified a protein that could be targeted to prevent transmission of the dengue virus, an advance that could lead to the development of a vaccine against the deadly infection.

The first-ever comprehensive genomic analysis of the virus that causes dengue fever suggests that it may survive year-round in China, increasing the risk of more frequent and severe outbreaks in the country.
