In the standardised guidelines for epidemiological monitoring and laboratory diagnosis of infection with Zika virus in Mexico, it is proposed that 10% of patients with confirmed Zika virus infection will be tested for dengue and chikungunya to identify co-infections. 18 Fig. 1 shows the flow chart proposed to make the diagnosis in patients with
Introduction. Less than 20 years ago Chikungunya and Zika virus were endemic on the African continent and only caused sporadic and small, local outbreaks (1, 2).Several factors contributed to a global spread of these infections, including deforestation bringing humans close to the zoonotic reservoir of potential human pathogens, climate change leading to expansion of the animal vector habitats
Arboviruses transmitted by mosquitoes are challenging to diagnose and can have surprising clinical complications. Dengue, chikungunya, and Zika are the most important diseases caused by arboviruses worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. These are transmitted to humans by day-biting Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes.
The majority of the studies were exclusively conducted on dengue [15–112] (n = 123), with 16.% exclusively conducted on chikungunya (n = 29) [113–136] and 12% conducted on both dengue and chikungunya (n = 23) [137–154]; furthermore, seven studies were conducted on Zika [8,155–160], one study was conducted on both dengue and Zika and two
The four Dengue viruses (DENV) serotypes were re-introduced in Brazil’s Northeast region in a couple of decades, between 1980’s and 2010’s, where the DENV1 was the first detected serotype and DENV4 the latest. Zika (ZIKV) and Chikungunya
Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika incidence – are calculated from number of locally transmitted suspected and laboratory confirmed cases per 100 000 population. Suspect Chikungunya cases – are fever more than 38 °C, severe arthralgia, or arthritis, not explained by other medical conditions, occurring within 2 weeks of onset of symptoms.
The C q differed by less than 1 cycle between the commercial Rotor-Gene Q and the Adaptive RT-PCR instrument for Zika and dengue samples, and differed by less than 2 cycles for chikungunya samples
Different countries, especially Brazil, that have faced recurrent dengue epidemics for decades and chikungunya epidemics since 2014, have had to restructure their health services to combat a triple epidemic of arboviruses – Zika, dengue and Chikungunya – transmitted by the same vector, mainly Aedes aegypti, in 2015–2016.
The results found a 62 percent overlap of hot spots for dengue and Zika and 53 percent overlap for cases of dengue and chikungunya. In addition, dengue hot spots between 2008 and 2016 were
Introduction. Chikungunya (CHIKV) and Dengue (DENV which is divided into 4 serotypes, 1 to 4) viruses are both arthropod-borne viruses belonging respectively to the genus Alphavirus, Togaviridae family and Flavivirus, Flaviviridae family, and transmitted to humans via a bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus).
Dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV) and Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are endemic arboviruses in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Environmental changes and vector density, along with migration and immigration patterns of people contribute to the dissemination of these viruses and enable the occurrence of outbreaks or epidemics [ 1 ].
Chikungunya (CHIKV), Zika (ZIKV), and Dengue viruses (DENV) exhibit similar epidemiological and clinical patterns but have different pathophysiological mechanisms of disease manifestations. Differences occur in the severity of clinical presentations with the highest mortality in the general population attributed to DENV and neurological
According to the World Health Organization’s Target product profiles for better diagnostic tests for Zika virus infection, 1 such a test must be able to differentiate between chikungunya, dengue and Zika viruses, since these mosquito-borne arboviruses can be co-circulating and can cause similar symptoms. 2
The Zika virus is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, similar to dengue. Mosquito prevention and control remains key to reducing the transmission of the Zika virus. Aligned to our dengue control approach, NEA will continue to work with stakeholders and the community to reduce mosquito breeding.
As has been previously reported, chikungunya cases were more likely than other AFI cases to present early in the clinical course [45–49]; differences that were especially pronounced between chikungunya and dengue cases [50–52]. Whether the difference in the timing of presentation is due to a more abrupt onset of fever and the occurrence of
