Insects are those animals such as lice, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes which are also liable for transmitting several various diseases that are caused by different viruses and bacteria such as yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, Lyme, plague, malaria, filariasis and a lot more. While most of these diseases are known to thrive in subtropical and tropical countries, Malaria is still the most blatant of these all.
Tick Born Spotted Fevers
This fever disease is caused by bacteria in the Rickettsiae genus group of insects. This fever is, as usual, transmitted by ticks that have more than twenty species that can work against humans. Aside from the spotted fever disease, they are also the cause of typhus. They are mostly known to be working in the areas of Europe, North America, Africa, and India.
Meningoencephalitis Tick-Borne
This tick-borne disease known to affect the central nervous system of the host. It is transferred from host to host through the tick bites that are known to be very in demand during the spring and summer. The symptomatology of the fever reaches two stages. The first stage is known to be the period where the symptoms will display flu-like symptoms which will last up to four days. Then, the second stage starts 10 days later when severe meningitis, meningoencephalitis, and radiculitis are detected and observed on the victim.
Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is caused by an infection from the bacteria carried by Borrelia genus insects which are transmitted through tick bites or Ixodes genus. The bacteria that causes Lyme disease is called Borrelia bacteria. The symptoms of the disease begin with red lesions around the tick bite which then spreads and then disappears after a few weeks. Then, after a few months, signs such as joint pains, paralysis, and heart rhythm abnormalities begin to take place on the victim.
Leishmaniases
These are parasites that cause diseases called Leishmania – unicellular parasites that cause infection to the reticulohistiocytic system of humans. While various forms take effect when a person acquires this disease, one of the most known effects that it’s known to create is chronic ulcers, deterioration of lymph nodes, and drop in the blood cell count.
Sleeping Sickness
This disease is also known as Human African Trypanosomiasis which is caused by the Trypanosoma Protozoa or parasites that dwell in the blood of hosts. This disease occurs in two stages, the first stage is where the blood parasite is detected in the lymphatic system. The next stage then is called the neurological phase where the central nervous system of the victim is already affected by the parasite on the blood stream.
