The Aedesgenus mainly Aedes aegypti.
Dengue is transmitted to humans by the mosquito Aedes aegypti(rarely Aedes albopictus).
Aedes generally bite during the day.
People must seek out and destroy the Aedes breeding grounds every week in their respective premises.
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes spread the viruses to humans in a viral life cycle that requires both humans and these mosquitoes.
These numbers could accelerate with climate change and global trade, which have already facilitated the spread of highly aggressive andinvasive species such as the Asian tiger mosquito(Aedes albopictus).
Target: Aedes sp and culex sp. Mosquitoes.
It was found that the likelihood of infection is caused by Zika local infection(as the patient does not have to go abroad in the recent past andmay have been bitten by an infected mosquito Aedes Zika).
Zika is spread by Aedes mosquitoes, such as A. aegypti and A. albopictus.
He said both deaths took place in epidemic areas andinspections conducted at the residential areas of dengue fatalities showed an Aedes breeding rate of 3 per cent which exceeded the target of one per cent set by the Health Ministry.
More recently, FRIM's Aedes Bio-Based Fuel(ABBF) innovation received Gold Medal at the 45th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva in March 2017 and a Special Green Innovation Award from the Selangor State Government in October 2017.
It was found that this Zika infection is most likely from a local source of infection, as the patient did not have any recent travelling history abroad andwas probably been bitten by an Aedes mosquito infected with Zika.”.
He said the presence of the Wolbachia bacteria in the Aedes mosquitos would stunt the development of the dengue virus in the body of the mosquito and reduce the risk of the transfer of the virus to humans.
In addition, Dr Lee said in the effort to control the disease the ministry was implementing an innovative dengue control initiative, namely, the release of the eggs of the Aedes Wolbachia mosquito to replace the wild Aedes mosquito population carrying the dengue fever virus.
If forced to travel,they must take preventive measures from being bitten by Aedes mosquitoes and get immediate treatment at the nearest health facility if they have symptoms and signs such as fever, body aches, rashes and conjunctivitis after returning,” he said.
Research by the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia found a number of essential oils such as Cymbopogon nardus(citronella grass), Litsea eliptica, Melaleuca cajuputi(gelam) and Cinnamomum spp(cinnamon)demonstrates repellent properties against the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
He also advised the people to step up efforts in keepingtheir housing areas clean to prevent the breeding of the Aedes mosquito and not to rely completely on the local authorities and the Health Department.
In 1906, transmission by the Aedes mosquitos was confirmed, and in 1907 dengue was the second disease(after yellow fever) that was shown to be caused by a virus.[1] Further investigations by John Burton Cleland and Joseph Franklin Siler completed the basic understanding of dengue transmission.
The Consumers' Association of Penang(CAP) and Sahabat Alam Malaysia(SAM)are very anxious of the eventual release of the GM Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in Bentong, Pahang and Alor Gajah, Melaka despite objections and concerns raised by NGOs, public and scientists.
Apart from attempts to control the spread of the Aedes mosquito there are ongoing efforts to develop antiviral drugs that would be used to treat attacks of dengue fever and prevent severe complications.[1][94] Discovery of the structure of the viral proteins may aid the development of effective drugs.[17] There are several plausible targets.
Meanwhile, in Asia, hospitals struggle to accommodate hordes of dengue patients in severe outbreaks, while parts of southern Europe are seeing domestic transmission ofthis deadly virus for the first time- a virus carried by Aedes mosquitoes, which thrive in changes to rainfall patterns and warmer conditions.
The ratio may sound low," DrTesh said,"but when you consider the number of Aedes aegypti in a tropical urban community, it is likely high enough to allow some virus to persist, even when infected adult mosquitoes are killed.".
The highest incidences were in the states of Selangor, the Johor, Kelantan, Sabah, Penang, Sarawak, Negeri Sembilan and Pahang, as well as the Federal territories.[10] The Malaysian government sought tocounter the epidemic by releasing mosquitoes of the genus Aedes infected with the Wolbachia bacteria, which was expected to reduce the mosquito population.[10].
The virus seems to have no detrimental effect on the mosquito,which remains infected for life.[9] Aedes aegypti is particularly involved, as it prefers to lay its eggs in artificial water containers, to live in close proximity to humans, and to feed on people rather than other vertebrates.
Since 2006, studies indicate that dengue fever is on the rise in Pakistan.[4] It is noted throughout the year, peaking at post-monsoon season.[5] Many factors have been cited, including a surge in the principal mosquito vectors Aedes aegypti. and Aedes albopictus[6][7] However, in 2006, an additional factor may have been the lack of patient management standards, since dengue was a relatively new public health challenge for the country.[6].
Dengue is spread by several species of female mosquitoes of the Aedes genus, principally Aedes aegypti.[1][2] The virus has five serotypes;[7][8] infection with one type usually gives lifelong immunity to that type, but only short-term immunity to the others.[1] Subsequent infection with a different type increases the risk of severe complications.[1] A number of tests are available to confirm the diagnosis including detecting antibodies to the virus or its RNA.[2].
Therefore, the Ministry of Health once again emphasizes that a clean environment without Aedes breeding grounds, practice search and destroy Aedes breeding grounds each week by the community and protect themselves from mosquito bites such as using repellent is an effective method of preventing the occurrence of cases of Zika.
It is an integrated operation involving various agencies such as the local authorities, SWCorp and the police,where if the Aedes larvae were found at the residential premises, a RM500 compound will be imposed and if the owner fails to pay the compound, they could be fined a maximum of RM10,000 or face imprisonment of not more than two years or both upon conviction,” he said.
In rural settings the virus is transmitted to humans by A. aegypti andother species of Aedes such as A. albopictus.[23] Both these species had expanding ranges in the second half of the 20th century.[2] In all settings the infected lower primates or humans greatly increase the number of circulating dengue viruses, in a process called amplification.[23] One projection estimates that climate change, urbanization, and other factors could result in more than 6 billion people at risk of dengue infection by 2080.[77].
