Story of Chikungunya Mosquito

Chikungunya has no connection with chicken or chicken, the story of the name of this disease is quite interesting.

The disease was first detected in Africa in 1952. The disease took serious form in the Makonde area bordering Mozambique and Tanzania.

The virus caused by mosquito bites was identified by blood samples of a sick person.

The Swahili language is spoken in the Maskade area, in which Chikungunya means "sickness of the stricken man." The person whose chikungunya virus was identified from a blood sample was severely stricken with bone pain.

A particular species of mosquito that spreads chikungunya, called Aedes rogpti, was identified in 1818 by a German doctor Johann Wilhelm.

Aedes aegypti is often a virus with both dengue and chikungunya. But scientists do not know that if one of its severed persons dengue, why does another person get chikungunya disease? Is it the mosquito's will or the person's misfortune?

It is not a minor but very dangerous mosquito, which is found in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

This is the mosquito that spreads diseases like dengue and zika. The story of mosquito's name is also quite interesting.

'Aedes aegypti' is a Greek name meaning 'bad mosquito', this mosquito is very bad, it has no potential, and it is also not related to Egyptians Egypt.

Interestingly, if you look at the Chikungunya mosquito very carefully or with a magnifying glass, it has white stripes on its body, which is its special identity.

The mosquito that spreads the malaria is of a different species called anophyllis, and malaria is caused only by the bite of the female mosquito, not by the bite of the male mosquito.

It is important to note that in the national capital of India, there have been three recent deaths due to chikungunya and it remains a matter of great concern among the people of Delhi.
