an overview of  Kyasanur Forest diseases virus

Kyasanur Forest diseases virus (KFDV) is a kind of media by ticks the spread of the virus, it mainly infect humans and some non-human primates, and can lead to Kyasanur Forest diseases virus . The viral disease was first identified in the Indian state of Karnataka and is still prevalent in the region. KFDV belong to the yellow virus family, its natural host may be some small mammals, such as squirrels or rodents, these animals are often tick class's main source of food.

The latest research dynamic

Due to the search results does not provide a specific release date, we cannot be sure what is the latest research results. However, according to the existing information, we can understand the KFD research focus may focus on the molecular biology of the virus, diagnostic methods, the epidemiological characteristics of vaccine development and disease. Probe method mentioned in the literature, for example, fluorescence quantitative rt-pcr kit and rt-pcr positive control plasmids were used to detect and identify KFDV tool, it shows that the progress in laboratory diagnosis.

Disease characteristics

KFD symptoms typically include fever, headache, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, and illness may deteriorate rapidly in a few days, lead to serious complications, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, liver and kidney function damage, etc. KFDV the case fatality rate is relatively low, but if not treated, the prognosis of patients may be severely affected.

mode of transmission

KFDV mainly spread through tick, tick species of the genus is considered to be the main communicator. These tick bite when they injected the virus into the host, causing infection. In addition to direct the bites of transmission, the virus may also indirectly by ticks dung or other ways to spread to humans and other animals.

preventive measure

KFDV prevention is the key to avoid tick. When traveling in endemic areas, wear long-sleeved clothing, use mosquito repellent, and check your body for tick attachment upon return. Remove the tick and seek medical help as soon as a tick bite is detected. There is no specific vaccine against KFDV, thus to raise public awareness and symptomatic treatment become important means of prevention and control.

conclusion

To sum up, Kyasanur Forest diseases virus is a kind of media by ticks the spread of the virus, it is common in some parts of India. Despite the lack of the latest research information, but, according to the known KFDV diagnosis and monitoring technology is constantly improving. In order to prevent and control the KFDV, need to take the appropriate personal protective measures, at the same time to strengthen the understanding of this disease and research.
