Kyasanur forest disease

Some species of Haemaphysalis are known to carry the virus responsible for the Kyasanur forest disease.

Kyasanur forest disease virus (KFDV)

Kyasanur forest disease (KFD) is a tick-borne viral hemorrhagic fever endemic to South Asia.

It is closely related to the Kyasanur Forest disease virus (KFDV) with which it shares 89% nucleotide sequence homology.

He has worked on the Toxicity of Abrus precatorius on the maternal and fetal tissues, Kyasanur forest disease and South Indian Paraplegia.

Other close relatives include Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus, Kyasanur forest disease virus, Alkhurma virus, Louping ill virus and the Langat virus.

He was also able to obtain funding for migration studies through a project to study the Kyasanur forest disease, an arthropod-borne virus that appeared to have similarities to a Siberian tick-borne disease.

The family Flaviviridae include dengue, yellow fever, and two viruses in the tick-borne encephalitis group that cause VHF: Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus and Kyasanur Forest disease virus.

Diseases named for regions include Asian flu, German measles, Devonshire colic, English sweating sickness, West Nile fever, Congo virus, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Kyasanur forest disease and Bolivian hemorrhagic fever.

An increase in Eupatorium is attributed as one of the causes for the spread of the deadly Kyasanur Forest disease (which has a morbidity rate of 10%) among humans since it harbors tick populations that are vectors for this disease.

Kyasanur Forest Disease Kyasanur forest disease, also known as Monkey Disease is a rare endemic tick-borne viral hemorrhagic fever which was first noticed in Kyasanur village, near Sorab.

Other members of the same genus include yellow fever virus, West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, tick-borne encephalitis virus, Kyasanur forest disease virus, and Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus.
