To determine:
The process by which the people can protect themselves from mosquito-borne pathogens, beside using repellents
Case summary:
An old man had reached at the doctor’s clinic in Ravenna, Italy. He suffered from combination of symptoms including widespread rashes, fever, nausea, and pain in joints. The scientists reported these symptoms as the emergence of chikungunya, which is related to equine encephalitis viruses. Chikungunya disease was more prevalent in the nations of Africa and the Indian Ocean. The Italian patient survived but his crippling pain lasted for several months. He now insists and promotes the use of mosquito repellant.
