poor chiken


Chikungunya is a relatively rare form of viral fever caused by an alphavirus that is spread by mosquito bites from the Aedes aegypti mosquito, though recent research by the Pasteur Institute in Paris claims the virus has suffered a mutation that enables it to be transmitted by Aedes Albopictus (Tiger mosquito). This was the cause of the actual plague in the Indian Ocean and a threat to the Mediterranean coast at present, requiring urgent meetings of health officials of France, Italy and Spain, but nothing seems to be moving that way.

Its an emerging epidemic in India, currently spread into many districts of andhra pradesh and maharashtra and karnataka affecting thousands of people each day.
Its falsly called as chicken gunya or chickengunya.. but it has no correlation with chickens. The confusion was created as the infection came simultaneusly withg bird flue in India.

Answer 3

Chikungnya
Chikungunya virus occurs in the East, Central and South Africa and in India and south-east Asia. It is the cause of an acute dengue-like pyrexia of sudden onset, associated with intense joint and muscle pains and a rash. In African epidemics case fatality was minimal but the virus has since been found in Thailand associated with a severe haemorrhagic fever, in which the dengue viruses also were involved and also in India. The name of the virus derives from an African language word meaning 'the thing causing bending up', from the contorted position of patients induced by joint pains.
How is chikungunya virus infection treated?
No vaccine or specific antiviral treatment for chikungunya fever is available. Treatment is symptomatic--rest, fluids, and ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen, or paracetamol may relieve symptoms of fever and aching. Aspirin should be avoided
Infected persons should be protected from further mosquito exposure (staying indoors and/or under a mosquito net during the first few days of illness) so that they can't contribute to the transmission cycle.

Answer 4

Funny enough,chicken guniya has got nothing to do with chicken.It is found in African countries.In African language, it means "to bend". This is because people suffering from this disease have high fever and extreme pain in joints therefore they cant walk properly and hence "bent".
It is a non fatal disease and it can be prevented by keeping away from the mosquitoes especiallly those which breed in stagnant water.
