Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is caused by the dengue virus which transmitted through bite of Aedes aegypti mosquito. Prevention DHF can be done using larvicides. Synthetic chemical larvicides are considered to have side effects in long-term use and cause environmental pollution. So we need an alternative with natural ingredients from plants, namely Japanese Papaya plants. This study aims dete...

Dengue fever is transmitted through the bite of a female mosquito that stores dengue virus in its eggs, then will be to humans bites. The right way control spread Fever vector population use bioinsecticides whose basic ingredients come from plants containing chemicals are toxic insects. This study aims determine effectiveness aromatherapy candle media made nutmeg leaf (Myristica fragrans houtt)...

BACKGROUND Natural killer (NK) cell lymphocytosis associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection often shows severe hypersensitivity to mosquito bites (HMB) characterized by intense local skin reactions and systemic symptoms such as high fever, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly. However, the induction mechanism of HMB is still unclear. OBSERVATIONS We investigated a typical case of ...

Q: How do people get infected with West Nile Virus (WNV)? A: The most likely way a human would become infected with WNV is through the bite of an infected mosquito. Some people have also become infected with WNV following receipt of contaminated blood or blood products, or transplanted organs from an infected donor. Mothers who are recently infected with WNV may also transmit the virus to their...

The skill of two simple models for predicting Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) epidemics in a coastal city of Makassar was evaluated. One model uses persistence while the other uses past dengue cases and climate factors to make predictions. It was shown that the skill of the models was not significantly different. The value of the prediction was also investigated when it was used for deciding whe...

Malaria and filariasis still continue to pose public health problems in developing countries of the tropics. Although plans are in progress for the elimination of both these parasitic vector borne diseases, we are now faced with a daunting challenge as we have a fifth species, Plasmodium knowlesi a simian malaria parasite affecting humans. Similarly in peninsular Malaysia, filariasis was mainly...

Following the original description of erythema chronicum migrans (ECM) in Sweden in 1909, ECM became widely recognized in Europe. The first reported case of ECM acquired in the United States occurred in 1969, and in 1975 the full symptom complex now known as Lyme disease was recognized. In 1981, cases of Lyme disease were recognized in yet a third continent, Australia and, to date, cases acquir...
