Life Cycle cont’d

13. Transmission of Dengue
Humans become
host of virus.
Incubation is 4-10
days then produce
dengue symptoms
Humans get infected
from bite of infected
mosquito. Mosquitos
get infected when they
bite infected humans.
Mosquito bites and sucks
blood containing the virus
from an infected person.
Virus is carried in its
body.
And passes the virus to
healthy people when it
bites them.

14. SYMPTOMS

15. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever:
High fever, hemorrhage, has 4 grades:
Grade 1:
Fever, non specific
Grade 2:
Grade 1 manifestation +
spontaneous bleeding
Grade 3:
Signs of circulatory failure
Grade 4:
Profound shock, death

16. No commercially available
vaccine.
Prevention and control are sought by reducing
the habitat, controlling the number of
mosquitoes, and limiting exposures to bites.

17. CHILDREN ARE AT GREATER
RISK than adults because
they are unable to recover
from the bleeding during
the SHOCK PHASE.
