Zika virus disease is caused by a virus transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes

Aedes mosquitoes are usually active during the day, especially early mornings and late afternoons/evenings

The symptoms of Zika Virus are so common, that people fail to understand that they are infected with this disease. Symptoms include fever, rash, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise, and headache, which usually last for 2–7 days.

Take measures like wearing clothing (preferably light-coloured) that covers as much of the body as possible, use screens to cover windows and doors, sleep under mosquito nets, and eliminate stagnant water in and around your home to prevent mosquitoes. Also, apply repellents like Goodknight Fabric Roll-On, Goodknight Cool Gel, Goodknight Patches before stepping outdoors. When at home, use repellents like Goodknight Activ+ and Goodknight Fast Card even during the day, to keep mosquitoes away.

Zika virus infection during pregnancy is a cause of microcephaly (smaller than normal head size) and other congenital abnormalities in the developing fetus and newborn. It can also result in complications such as fetal loss, stillbirth, and preterm birth.

Zika virus is primarily transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. However, it can also be transmitted from mother to fetus during pregnancy, through sexual contact, transfusion of blood and blood products, and organ transplantation.

It is a flu-like illness, which begins with a high fever and chills. Other symptoms include vomiting and nausea, headaches, body pain, weakness and fatigue.

The treatment for malaria involves the use of prescribed antimalarial medication, mainly Artemisinin Combined Therapy (ACT). The dosage and type of medication will depend on a variety of factors, including age and type of malaria. In cases of pregnant women, please consult a doctor if one experiences malaria-like symptoms.

There is no commercially available vaccine against malaria today. While several vaccine candidates are currently under research and development worldwide, one should continue to take adequate precautions to prevent mosquito bites and malaria.

Malaria can be promptly diagnosed by a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) or microscopy (laboratory blood test). This involves examining a drop of the patient’s blood to determine presence of the malaria parasite. RDTs are often used in the field by ASHA workers and primary health centers for efficient management of malaria cases, especially in hard-to-reach areas where access to adequate health services is limited. A nucleic acid amplification-based test is also available to detect malaria in areas where malaria is not very common.

Malaria is spread by the Anopheles mosquito. It is important to be protected from these mosquitoes, both indoors and outdoors, because even a single mosquito bite can lead to malaria. Before stepping out, the use of personal repellents like Goodknight Fabric Roll-On (or the Goodknight Cool Gel/Patches etc.) can prevent mosquito bites. When at home, shutting the doors and windows in the evening, and use of household-level repellents like Goodknight Activ+ and Goodknight Fast Card card will keep mosquitoes away. People should also sleep under bed nets for further protection.

The websites of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and The National Vector Borne Disease Control Program of India (NVBDCP) provide updated information on malaria, its symptoms and treatment. Please consult the local doctor, health clinic or healthcare providers should one have high fever and chills.

It is a severe flu-like illness beginning with a sudden onset of fever and painful headaches. Other symptoms include a skin rash, muscle and joint pain, nausea and vomiting. In extreme cases, it can lead to excessive bleeding (haemorrhaging) and death.

Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease caused by four different virus types, DENV 1-4, and spread by the Aedes mosquito. There are about 390 million dengue infections reported every year, of which 96 million exhibit symptoms. Today, about 3.9 billion people in over 128 countries are at risk for dengue.

There is no specific treatment available for dengue; appropriate management of symptoms is crucial, especially maintaining an adequate volume of body fluids.

There is a commercially available vaccine against dengue, which is available in Mexico, Brazil, El Salvador and the Philippines. The WHO has not taken a formal position on the universal use of the vaccine, but has recommended that endemic countries should consider introduction of the vaccine into their national immunization programs. While there are several vaccine candidates currently under research and development worldwide, one should continue to take adequate precautions to prevent mosquito bites and dengue.

Dengue can be diagnosed using laboratory tests to determine the presence of dengue antibodies (IgG and IgM) and through polymerase chain reactions (PCR) to determine the presence of the virus. Ideally, these tests must be done within the first few days of the patient presenting symptoms. The tests can be carried out at the local hospital or health clinic.

Dengue is spread by the Aedes mosquito, which prefers biting during the day time (sunlight hours). Even a single mosquito bite can lead to dengue. Thus it is important to protect loved ones, both indoors and outdoors, especially during the day. Before stepping out, the use of personal repellents like Goodknight Fabric Roll-On (or the Goodknight Cool Gel/Patches etc.) can prevent mosquito bites. When at home, shutting the doors and windows in the evening, and use of household-level repellents like Goodknight Activ+ and Goodknight Fast Card card even during the day will keep mosquitoes away.

The websites of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and The National Vector Borne Disease Control Program of India (NVBDCP) provide updated information on dengue, its symptoms and treatment. Please consult the local doctor, health clinic or healthcare providers should one have a sudden onset of high fever and a painful headache and/or skin rash.

Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne disease caused by the chikungunya virus and spread by the Aedes mosquito. The disease is widespread in Africa, Asia and the Indian subcontinent.

It is a flu-like illness with fever, headache and joint pain. Other symptoms include muscle pain, headache, body ache, nausea, fatigue and rash. Given the similarity between symptoms, chikungunya is often misdiagnosed as dengue. It is a chronic disease and once infected, a person can experience joint pain for extended periods of time even after the other symptoms disappear.
