Pune woman is the case of the first Zika virus of Maharashtra

Pune: Maharashtra officially confirmed the case of his first Zika virus – a virus infection born by mosquitoes – on Saturday.
Blood sample from a 50-year-old woman, resident of the village of Belsar (Purandar Taluka) in Pune, was tested positive for Zika-Chikungunya’s co-infection in the Indian Board of Medical Research – National Institute of Virology (ICMR-NIV), a Premier Virus Research Laboratory, here on Friday.
His blood sample was taken as part of routine supervision to put aside the disease transmitted by mosquitoes after several villagers showed symptoms like dengue / chikungunya – like the village of Belsar and Parinche in Purandar Taluka since the beginning of July.
Zika Virus was transmitted to people through infected mosquito bites, especially Aedes Aegypti, who were also vectors for dengue fever and chikungunya.
After detection of the first Zika virus case in Maharashtra, the State Supervision Machine has intensified the supervision of fever in seven villages around it, including the Belsar (Purandar), where the woman lives with her family members, containing a disease.
“The woman is a housewife without a history.
He has symptoms on July 14.
Symptoms include fever, joint pain, headaches, and eye pain and body.
He really recovers and has no symptoms now.
None From his family members have symptoms, “said the state pradip reconnaissance officer.
The initial investigation of ICMR-NIV suggested a mixed outbreak of dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika with the dominance of Chikungunya in the village of Belsar.
“The case of the Zika Human virus has been reported for the first time from Maharashtra.
The result ensures a profound investigation for the Zika virus in the region,” Priya Abraham, Director, ICMR-NIV, was stated in the Zika Investigation Report Introduction.
Virus detection once again strengthens the importance of supervision of fever to take virus disease.
“A team of ICMR-NIV visited the villages of Belsare and Parinche on July 27-29 after a blood sample of three villagers, withdrawn as part of the supervision of fever, was tested positive for Chikungunya on July 16,” Waltate said.
The team collected blood samples from 51 other villagers on Chikungunya’s suspicion.
The sample was tested by the Chikungunya virus, Dengue and Zika used a real-time RPCR test at ICMR-NIV.
“Among 41 of 51 samples all the results were available, blood samples from 25 positive cases for chikungunya.
Three positive for dengue fever and one positive sample for Zika and Chikungunya,” ICMR-NIV report said.
The ICMR-NIV entomology team visited the Belsar, Shivri, Supe (Khurd) and Mashiras to detect the presence of Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes inside and around the patient’s house.
Vector studies reveal that all fields visited are positive for the existence of Aedes Aegypti larvae.
Vector breeding is mainly found in plastic drums.
All positive containers (have Aedes Aegypti larvae) are outdoors.
“In addition, traders from Kerala come to these villages to buy pomegrima regularly.
Farmers also send harvests or fruits to Kerala Market.
We suspect that (Zika’s virus) might come from there.
Our investigation is still on,” said Ayush Prasad, Chief Executive Officer of the Zilla Parishad.
Kerala began reporting Zika’s virus cases from the beginning of July this year.
The southern state has registered 61 Zika cases this year, so far.
The first case of the Zika virus was reported in India in 2017 in Gujarat and later found in Tamil Nadu.
The big outbreak occurred in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh at the end of 2018.
Dhiraj Jagatap, Deputy Sarpanch from the village of Belsar, said that the number of patient fever in the village has increased in the past two weeks.
Every year we report a large number of cases of dengue fever and chikungunya.
