Zika virus in Mumbai: Know about its warning signs, symptoms and prevention tips

Zika virus is a mosquito-borne illness that garnered global attention due to its rapid spread and potential health risks, particularly for pregnant women and their babies.

Zika virus in Mumbai: Know about its warning signs, symptoms and prevention tips

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has confirmed the first case of Zika virus in Chembur, Mumbai. The individual affected is a 79-year-old man who exhibited symptoms such as fever, cough, and a congested nose. The Zika virus is transmitted through the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is also responsible for spreading diseases like dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, and West Nile virus. While many people who contract the Zika virus do not show any symptoms, some individuals may experience fever, rash, joint pain, conjunctivitis, and muscle pain.

Particularly vulnerable to severe infections and prolonged illness are the elderly, pregnant women, those with conditions like diabetes and cancer, individuals on immunosuppressive medications, those requiring dialysis, and those with HIV. If left untreated or if the infection persists, the Zika virus can lead to organ dysfunction and neurological problems. Symptoms such as seizures, changes in mental state, encephalitis, and nerve-related issues can also manifest.

Instances of Zika virus cases in India have been relatively rare. In 2021, a 24-year-old pregnant woman from Kerala tested positive for Zika virus infection. Within the same year, a 50-year-old woman from Belsar, Maharashtra, also contracted the virus. In 2022, a 7-year-old girl who attended a government residential school in Zai, Talasari, was diagnosed with the Zika virus.

Zika Virus: Symptoms and Prevention

Zika virus is a mosquito-borne illness that garnered global attention due to its rapid spread and potential health risks, particularly for pregnant women and their babies. The virus is primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, the same vectors responsible for dengue and chikungunya transmission.

Symptoms of Zika virus infection are often mild and can include fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). Many infected individuals might not even realize they have contracted the virus, as symptoms can be mistaken for other common illnesses. However, the virus's link to birth defects, particularly microcephaly (abnormal smallness of the head) in newborns, has led to widespread concern.

Prevention plays a crucial role in managing Zika virus transmission. To protect oneself, it's important to avoid mosquito bites. This can be achieved by using insect repellent, wearing long-sleeved clothing, and using bed nets, especially during the daytime when Aedes mosquitoes are most active. Eliminating standing water, where mosquitoes breed, is another key preventive measure.
