Kyasanur Forest disease, a tick-borne viral fever in India's Western Ghats, is caused by a flavivirus and transmitted by Haemaphysalis spinigera ticks. Since 1957, it has spread due to deforestation and human encroachment. 🌳🦠 #idsky

[Review] Kyasanur Forest disease: an emerging arboviral threat

Kyasanur Forest disease is a neglected tick-borne viral haemorrhagic fever endemic to India's Western Ghats, caused by the Kyasanur Forest disease virus, a flavivirus transmitted by Haemaphysalis spinigera ticks. The virus circulates in a sylvatic cycle among monkeys, rodents, shrews, birds, and ixodid ticks, and is transmitted to humans incidentally via tick bites. Since its discovery in 1957 in Karnataka, Kyasanur Forest disease has spread to other Indian states, driven by deforestation, forest fragmentation, and increased human incursion into wildlife habitats.

1/ Imagine being a kid, just vibing at school, when boom—a tapeworm decides to set up camp in your brain. 🧠🏕️ Welcome to the wildest, most unexpected outbreak Belgium has seen. And no, this isn’t an episode of House MD but it reads like it. I love ID #IDSky #MedSky www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Neurocysticercosis school outbreak in Belgium

Human cysticercosis results from ingesting microscopic Taenia solium eggs shed by a tapeworm carrier, forming cystic larvae (ie, cysticerci) in tissues. These larvae normally encyst in the pig, the natural intermediate host. Upon consumption by humans, they develop into a new intestinal tapeworm. Affecting the human brain, neurocysticercosis is responsible for a third of epilepsy cases in endemic tropical and subtropical regions.1,2
