Detection Prevention of Dengue Malaria

• Even in this day and age of technology and
  medical advancements, Dengue and Malaria still
  remain one of the highest causative agents of
  death around the world. Despite their latent
  malicious nature, many people remain unaware of
  the far-reaching consequences of these diseases,
  resulting in such high numbers of deaths from
  malaria and dengue worldwide. Despite being so
  harmful, these diseases absolutely need a vector
  to spread through, namely mosquitoes, where they
  can mature.

Prevention of Dengue and Malaria

• We can prevent diseases like Dengue and Malaria
  by keeping our surroundings mosquito free, as
  these diseases can only spread when we are stung
  by these pests. Follow these steps to keep them
  away
• Screen your windows Ensure that all entry
  points to the home, like windows, vents, etc have
  fine mesh screening on them. This way you can
  keep the mosquitoes out, without suffocating
  yourself.
• Protective Clothing When youre going outside,
  and especially to a mosquito infested area, then
  opt for wearing full sleeves and jeans. Stick to
  lighter colours, as studies have shown that
  mosquitoes are attracted to darker colours.

• Mosquito Repellent There are all kinds of
  mosquito repellents that you can use to keep them
  away. Applying repellent creams on exposed parts
  of your skin when you go out, switching on the
  repellent device in your home, etc are definitely
  effective when it comes to repelling mosquitoes.
• Reduce mosquito habitat All kinds of stagnant
  water are breeding grounds for these mosquitoes.
  You should take care that there arent any open
  and stagnant puddles of water in your bathroom,
  garden, or anywhere near your house. Get regular
  spraying done in your house and its immediate
  outdoors, to ensure total elimination of all
  mosquitoes and their eggs.

Detection of Malaria

• In countries like the US, where malaria is not an
  endemic disease, detection and diagnosis is much
  harder, because it is so unexpected. However, in
  tropical countries like India, malaria is more
  common and affects most of the population. The
  symptoms of malarial fever that we should watch
  out for are
• Muscular Pain and Headache
• Recurring Fever, accompanied with alternate bouts
  of chills and sweats
• Nausea and Vomitting
• Weakness and Fatigue
• Dry Cough

• People suffering from these symptoms should be
  taken immediately for a blood test, to find out
  if they are infected with the malarial virus or
  not.

Detection of Dengue

• Look out for the following symptoms if you
  suspect that you might be suffering from dengue
  fever
• Sudden high temperature
• Severe headaches, especially behind the eyes
• High muscle and joint pain
• Nausea and Vomitting
• Skin Rash
• If you have most of these symptoms, then the next
  step is to consult a medical expert, who will
  most likely prescribe a blood test to detect the
  dengue virus.
