What is Zika virus | Symptoms & Prevention

The first case of the virus has been identified in Karnataka. A five-year-old girl from the Raichur district of Karnataka has been identified as the first person to contract the Zika virus. However, the government emphasised that there is no need for concern because the required measures are being taken. Guidelines for this virus will be released soon. The typical method of transmission of the Zika virus disease is through mosquito bites. In addition, if one person contracts the Zika virus, he or she might spread it to others. Being infected with the Zika virus during pregnancy raises the likelihood of miscarriage, making it more risky. In Uganda, this virus was originally discovered in 1947. It was given the name Zika in 1952 because it found in zika forest.

Virus Zika symptoms

According to the Mayo Clinic website, one in five Zika virus infected individuals show no symptoms. The Zika virus is found in the Aedes mosquito, which transmits the illness via bites. The infection has been present for two to fourteen days if any symptoms appear. Some symptoms start to appear after a week. Mild fever, skin rashes, joint pain, especially in the hands and feet, and eye redness are common symptoms of the Zika virus infection. Some Zika virus patients additionally experience muscle aches, headaches, eye pain, fatigue, uneasiness, and abdominal pain in addition to these symptoms.

The Zika virus spreads in what way?

First off, a person gets bitten by an Aedes mosquito carrying the Zika virus and becomes ill. Additionally, this person has the ability to infect any unrelated third party. Additionally, the Zika virus can spread from one person to another through sexual contact. That is, the Zika virus can be shared through unprotected sex. Having unprotected sex within three months increases your risk of catching the Zika virus.

Redressal

There is still no zika vaccination or treatment available. Therefore, the only means of protection are to exterminate mosquitoes, maintain a clean home, and remove potential breeding grounds. In particular during outbreaks, wearing clothing that restricts skin exposure during the day, when mosquitoes are most active, offers some protection against bites. You can also apply repellents and pesticides if you follow the directions on the label. People who sleep during the day are well protected by mosquito nets (such as infants, bedridden people, and night workers). Pregnant women who reside in areas with high viral transmission are advised by the WHO, among other steps, to engage in safe sex.
