Kyasanur Forest disease (KFD) in Karnataka, India

Kyasanur Forest disease (KFD) -- also known as monkey fever -- has claimed its 2nd victim in the Indian state of Karnataka, a 64 year old who died on 29 February.

The death comes almost a month after a woman in the Shivamogga district of Karnataka state, died due to the disease. She died while being moved to a hospital in Manipal from Shivamogga.

According to Dr. Ashok Kumar, "Two cases of KFD have been confirmed in Siddapura.  Samples from the carcass of the monkey also revealed the presence of the virus. We have enough vaccine and are creating awareness among the public about vaccination. KFD surfaces from March to May but has appeared as early as January this year."

In Shivamogga alone, 55 people have tested positive for the KFD virus. "Of 55 positive cases, 22 people were vaccinated with 2 and 3 rounds of vaccination," a medical officer said.

KFD is an acute febrile illness caused by Kyasanur Forest disease virus (KFDV), a member of the family Flaviviridae, characterized by severe muscle pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, and bleeding. The virus was 1st identified in 1957 after it was isolated from a sick monkey from the Kyasanur Forest in Karnataka State. The disease is transmitted to humans following a tick bite or contact with an infected animal, especially a sick or recently dead monkey. There is no evidence of person-to-person transmission.

KFD typically occurs during the dry season from November through May and is related to the increased activity of the nymphs of ticks. Exposure to adult ticks and nymphs in rural areas increases the risk of infection; herders, forest workers, farmers, and hunters are particularly at risk.

The doctors said Herpes virus do not have medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human cells, it remains protected from your immune system. Herpes isn’t a special virus – your immune system has the tools to fight it back. But because it is able to lay dormant in protected cells, your immune system is unable to remove it from your body,But with strong reactive herbal medication is capable of getting rid of the virus gradually and totally from your body without damaging any of your cells,natural herbs kills the virus totally not just reducing the out break. Get natural herbs cure from Dr. Agbomina or reach him through his email: dragbonherbalmedicine@gmail.com or whatsapp no: +2349039139161....

I have been suffering from a deadly disease (Hsv) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how Dr Onokun helped someone in curing his (Hsv) herpes disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dronokunherbalcure@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dronokunherbalcure@gmail.com
