Severe dengue
Dengue is a lethal disease caused due to any four of the viruses (DENV-1, -2, -3, and -4). It is a problem of concern world wide. About 400 millions of cases about the DENV cases have been reported (Ferreira, 2012). DENV are transmitted through the vector Aedes aegypti. These mosquitoes are endemic in the tropical countries; the people from the tropical countries are more susceptible to the disease ("Nationally Notifiable Diseases | Healthy Water | CDC", 2017)
It is an acute feverish illness that is characterized by retro-ocular pain, frontal headache, pain in muscles and joints, followed by rashes. The communicable disease is spread by the mosquito Aedes aegypti and is confined to the tropical countries. Manifestations like dengue hemorrhagic fever is rare, but can be lethal. ("Nationally Notifiable Diseases | Healthy Water | CDC", 2017).
Lineage antigenic shift in the antigenic property of the dengue virus has lead to the changes in the case definition of the dengue virus. Envelope of the virus is the major antigenic proteins that cater to the antigenic shift in the virus. The pathogens are becoming immune to the different generations of the antibiotics. Due to this shift the different diagnostic procedures and the medications are altering itself (Guha-Sapir & Schimmer, 2005). Further more different strains of the virus are being discovered, which have different mechanisms of pathogenecity which have expanded the paws of the disease.
MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Health (DOH) has noted about 55,079 suspected cases of dengue virus infection from January 1 to August 8, 2015.
This record is 9.15% higher than the 50,462 cases that have been recorded during the same period in 2014.
It was found that most of the cases involve Calabarzon (15.2 %), Northern Mindanao (8.7%), and central Luzon (13%).
There had been 893 reported cases about the deaths for dengue virus in Korea and 1,054 in Japan in between the years 2011 and 2015. Cumulative incidence shows that, in spite of Japan’s big population the number of overseas travelers did not differ from that of Korea. These results indicate that the Koreans travel overseas, more than the Japanese. In south east Asia Korea and Japan has shown the maximum cases of infection about 89.4% vs. 75.4%, respectively. It should be noted that the Philippines and Indonesia were the leading origin countries for most of the Korean and Japanese cases. Seasonal distribution analyses that August and September were the months during which most of the cases have been found to occur in Korea and Japan, respectively (Guha-Sapir & Schimmer, 2005). The following differences are due to the difference in the timings and the travel destinations.

I've tried plenty of assignment services before, but Assignmenthelp.us takes the cake. My assigned writer made sure to clarify all the points of my assignment and reassured me he'd get it done in 3 days. I was surprised when he delivered the paper the next day! The writing quality was exceptionally high, and I ended up with the best grades in class.

I've always received low grades in my class for many years. I could ignore it before, but taking a risk in my final year would have been careless. My friends always spoke highly of Assignmenthelp.us, so I decided to give it a try. I was surprised at how low the prices were. My grades improved a lot, so I highly recommend everyone to try them out.
