Information About Different Forms Of Mosquito Killers

West Nile Fever

West Nile Virus symptoms include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and rash, which are mild symptoms to severe symptoms that include neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, tremor, coma, vision loss, and paralysis. These severe symptoms could last weeks or could be permanent. The onset of symptoms usually begins three to 14 days after a mosquito bite. Unlike Eastern Equine Encephalitis, 80% of the people who are infected with WNV will show no symptoms at all. 20% will show mild to serious symptoms. People who are mostly likely to show symptoms if bitten by an infected mosquito are infants, the elderly and people with auto-immune deficiencies.

Yellow Fever

Yellow fever is a disease caused by the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. It does not occur in the U.S. but is common in parts of Africa and South America. The symptoms of yellow fever include fever, chills, headache, backache, nausea, and vomiting; jaundice can also occur. More serious cases may affect the blood, liver, and kidneys. The disease can be fatal. The disease is spread when an infected mosquito bites a person with yellow fever and then transmits it by biting another person. There is no specific treatment for yellow fever, other than to relieve the symptoms. Once a person has had yellow fever, they are immune to further infection. The best way to prevent the disease is through vaccination and mosquito control.

Chikungunya

Chikungunya (in the Makonde language "that which bends up") virus (CHIKV) is an insect-borne virus, of the genus Alphavirus, that is transmitted to humans by virus-carrying Aedes mosquitoes.[1] There have been recent breakouts of CHIKV associated with severe illness. CHIKV infection causes an illness with symptoms similar to dengue fever, with an acute febrile phase of the illness lasting only two to five days, followed by a prolonged arthralgic disease that affects the joints of the extremities. The pain associated with CHIKV infection of the joints persists for weeks or months, or in some cases years.

Brain Fever

Brain fever is an infection caused by a virus or bacteria that results in inflammation of the brain. Brain fever is also called encephalitis. A person can be exposed by an insect bite such as a mosquito, inhalation of air that has been affected by a person that has it, eating infected food or drinking an infected drink or even by skin contact. The mosquito Culex tritaeniorhynchus are however, the
