After the deadly disease Dengue, it now Chikanguniya which is raising its head in the capital and it is becoming a cause of concern.
Most of the posh colonies in Delhi have reported the occurences of the disaese with people having symptoms like high fever,joint pains,low energy levles,vomiting, acute headache & rashes. Symptoms are similar to Dengue but it is not fatal in nature.
The virus responsible for the disese is supposed to be transmitted from the bite of infected Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus mosquitoes.Monkeys and other wild animals can also serve as reservoirs of virus.

It is very painful one..i already faced this chikanguniya...and couldnt move my legs and hands for sometime,with severe headache i was also having high fever.Hope some vaccine must be found..
Yes Nagalakshmi it is really painful experience..I think if one gets in house others also have to face it..it happened in my family..All got this with different severity...It took months to recover from join pains. and still sometime my joint trouble me a lot.
It is said that often this disease once got, some symptoms may stay for very long period...especially join problem..
There should be some initiative to find out some vaccines that can prevent chikanguniya.But by the time they release the vaccine the virus would have taken a new form. :(
Completely agree with you Nagalakshmi, the mosquitoes in early morning are more culprits..they even cause dengue...Unfortunately vaccine is not there for some problems.. :(
