Japanese swine fever (JE)
Jo Lines, a vector biologist at the London School of Health and Tropical Medicine, said it was a \"most terrible\" disease. “Why?
Because it usually doesn\'t kill you, but it usually loses your brain.
He told the New Scientist.
\"If thousands of people die, it means a lot of brain waves --damaged people.
\"Vaccines can prevent the disease, but there has been a serious shortage in the region.
India says it produces about 2 million doses a year, not enough to meet its requirements.
\"It needs a vaccine.
And it needs a quick vaccine . \"
\"It\'s a disease that you can\'t control easily [mosquito]control.
\"This is because insects that spread the disease breed in rice fields-a vast area that can be controlled.
The three-band mosquito is the main mosquito medium.
Migratory birds like egrets are the reservoir of JE virus and take it from one place to another, infected with local birds, and large chiropractic JE is popular in most parts of the South
It does not always bring diseases to people.
But if the JE virus is first transmitted and amplified in pigs and then transmitted to humans, then it is much more likely to cause serious diseases in humans.
This is because the amount of virus in pig blood is much higher than other animals, so if mosquitoes eat humans later, it is more likely to cause serious diseases.
According to Lines, there are also mosquitoes in Africa, where there are rice fields, but there is no JE.
This may be because the main thing between Asia and Africa is the Islamic Middle East, where there are no pigs to eat.

This may improve with the end of the monsoon season, as the accumulation of water in mosquito breeding is unlikely to gather.
