Dengue Virus

ඔබ දන්නවාද ඩෙංගු රෝගය මාස 4කින් තුරන් කල හැකි බව?

මදුරුවන් බෝවීම පාලනය කිරීමෙන් පමණක් ඩෙංගු ව්‍යාප්තිය නතර කල නොහැකි බව බලධාරීන් විසින් පිළිගෙන ඇත.

ඇත්ත වශයෙන්ම නියම සතුරා මදුරුවා නොව ඩෙංගු වෛරසයයි. මදුරුවෙක් ඩෙංගු රෝගියෙක් දෂ්ට නොකරනතාක් ඌට ඩෙංගු රෝගය පැතිරවීමට නොහැකිය.

එසේනම්, නියම ක්‍රමවේදය වියයුත්තේ රෝගියා මදුරු දෂ්ටයෙන් හුදකලා කිරීමයි. ඩෙංගු රෝගීන්ගෙන් 50%ක් එසේ හුදකලා කිරීමට අප සමත් වුවහොත්, ඩෙංගු රෝගය මාස 4කින් පමණ පාලනය කිරිමට හැකි වනු ඇත. විස්තර සඳහා ...

டெங்குவை நான்கே மாதங்களில் ஒழித்து விட முடியும் என்பது உங்களுக்குத் தெரியுமா?

டெங்குவை ஒழிப்பதற்கு நுலம்புகள் உருவாவதை கட்டுப்படுத்துவது மட்டும் போதுமாகாது என்பதை சுகாதார அதிகாரிகள் தற்போது உணர்ந்துள்ளனர்.

எதிரி டெங்கு வைரஸே தவிர நுலம்பல்ல. டெங்கு நோய் ஒரு டெங்கு நோயாளிளிடமிருந்தே மற்றொருவருக்கு தொற்றுகின்றது. நுலம்பு வைரஸை கடத்தும் கருமத்தை மட்டுமே செய்கின்றது.

எனவே சரியான உபாயம் டெங்கு நோயாளியை நுலம்புக் கடியில் இருந்து பாதுகாத்துத் தனிமைப் படுத்துவதாகும். 50 மூ டெங்கு நோயாளிகளை அவ்வாறு காத்துக் கொண்டால் நான்கே மாதத்தில் டெங்குவை ஒழித்து விடலாம். மேலும் தகவலுக்கு ...

Do you know that dengue can be eradicated in 4 months?

The authorities have now realised that control of mosquito breeding alone is not sufficient to eradicate dengue.

The enemy is the dengue virus and not the mosquito. Dengue is actually acquired from a dengue patient, the mosquito only “transports” the virus.

Therefore, the correct strategy is to isolate the dengue patient from mosquito bites. 50% isolation will eliminate dengue in 4 months.

About this Blog

This website was initiated by Dr Lal Jayasinghe to impart to the public the details of a novel and practical approach to the eradication of dengue that is based on isolation of dengue patients from mosquito bites.

Dr Jayasinghe is an MBBS qualified doctor with over 50 years service experience in Public Health in Sri Lanka and the UK. The well researched and detailed report - How to Eradicate Dengue Virus from Sri Lanka - compiled by him with the public domain data expands the premise of his concept and serves as the primary source material for this website.

The initial idea thus planted by Dr Jayasinghe has now been taken up by many, and it is the fervent wish of all Sri Lankans to see the last of the dengue patients soon.

Effective Reproduction Rate (R)

In epidemiology, the concept of Effective Reproduction Rate (R) means that the progress of the epidemic depends on, among other things, how many healthy persons a sick individual will pass on the disease.

If the sick person infects only one other person (R=1), the disease will continue to affect the community but will not become an epidemic. If the sick person infects less than one person (R<1), the disease will slowly but surely disappear. If the sick person infects more than one person (R>1), there will be an epidemic.

This in effect means that, in order to stop the epidemic of dengue or any other disease, we do not have to isolate every case. How soon we eradicate dengue will depend on how effectively we isolate dengue patients from mosquito bites. 50% isolation will eliminate dengue in 6 virus generations or 4 months.

Dengue has raised its head again - Dr Lal Jayasinghe

Are asymptomatic dengue “patients” a source of dengue infection to others?
