chikungunya

ICMR's Vector Control Research Centre in Puducherry has developed an eco-friendly technology using Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis to kill mosquitoes that cause dengue, chikungunya, zika and more.

The pilot experiment was conducted over Miyapur Lake on March 28, where a drone equipped with bio herbicide sprayed the liquid all over the 16-acre expanse.

While the virus has been dubbed as one with ‘no cure’, treatment or even a vaccine for the longest time, researchers at IIT Roorkee may spell new hope for patients.

It seems almost impossible for an entire village which was previously infested by mosquitoes to be free of them within two breeding sessions. But Sansar did it!

It's no joke. Three FIRs have already been filed in Delhi!

With over 9,175 cases of Chikungunya recorded in India, the virus has no cure or anti-viral vaccinations. This might change as this scientific breakthrough will bring about a needed cure for the virus in the future.

Dengue and chikungunya need to be detected early, so treatment can start immediately.

The researchers at IIT Roorkie are conducting in-depth research on the drug piperazine, and have discovered its anti-viral properties could be used to tackle the disease.

Taking a few important steps to keep yourself, your family and your friends safe can make a huge difference in the battle against dengue and chikungunya. Here is all you need to know about the symptoms, key differences, treatment, natural repellents, immunity boosters, and preventive measures for these diseases.
