Why Nipah Virus Isn't The Next Covid-19: 3 Diseases Might Be Bigger Pandemic Risks
Despite fears, Nipah virus is unlikely to spark a global pandemic like Covid-19 due to low human-to-human transmission. Highly contagious diseases such as measles or vector-borne viruses like dengue pose higher pandemic or epidemic risks. Here's why.

Zika and Dengue Viruses Can Alter a Hosts Smell to Make It 'Tastier', Attract More Mosquitoes, Study Says
A new study has found out why mosquitoes like to buzz around and bite some people more than others. Researchers discovered that infection from some viruses makes you smell tastier and attracts more mosquitoes, which increases the transmission of the disease.

Prolonged Monsoon, Transmission Cycles Of Mosquitoes Behind Rising Dengue Cases: Delhi Doctor
Following the rise in dengue cases in Delhi, the Medical Director of Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital (LNJP) said that dengue cases are increasing in the national capital due to prolonged monsoon period and different transmission cycles of mosquitoes.

World Mosquito Day 2018: History And Significance
World Mosquito Day was first established in 1897, when the link between mosquitos and malaria transmission was discovered by a British doctor Sir Ronald Ross. The female Anopheles mosquitoes were responsible for transmitting the malaria parasite.

New Dengue Vaccine May Up Infection In Low Affected Areas: Study
The study found that the dengue vaccine with the trade name Dengvaxia can reduce illness and hospitalisation by 20 to 30 per cent in places where there is high transmission of dengue. The initial exposure to the virus from the vaccine primes the immune system, so when they are infected again, the symptoms are more likely to be severe.

Protein Target to Prevent Dengue Transmission Identified
Researchers have identified a protein that could be targeted to prevent transmission of the dengue virus, an advance that could lead to the development of a vaccine against the deadly infection.

Large dengue fever outbreak in Madeira spreads cases in Europe
Europe is experiencing its first sustained transmission of dengue fever since the 1920s with more than 1,300 people infected with the mosquito-borne disease in the Portuguese archipelago of Madeira.
