What is Chikungunya
Chikungunya is a viral disease transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus mosquitoes. The disease is closely similar to dengue fever.
The word "Chikungunya" comes from the word “kungunyala” in Makonde language which means “that which bends up” or "Bent over in Pain". Outbreaks are most likely to occur in post-monsoon period when the vector (mosquitoes) density is very high.

It's Saturday morning in the month of June, as Hank Richards is waking up, he turns on the news only to find that today is expected to reach a record high of 115°.

Scientific research seems very factual and straight-forward. In reality, science deals with uncertainty, something that, when not used in the right way, creates weaknesses. The uncertainty of scientific research allows scientists to explore intellectually as well as creatively, and “venture into the unknown” to create the known. In his account from The Great Influenza, John M. Barry uses formal diction, strategically placed rhetorical questions, and an appeal to logos to characterize scientific research.
The article is about Jennie Chine Hansen speech that was given for the Chinese American Women Oral History Project. Hansen discusses in her speech about the ways exclusion, participation and empowerment shaped not just her life but the lives of all Chinese people living in America.

She also talks about how there are two generations, the ones who were born in China and the ones who were born in America. She discusses how there is an alienation from her parents and other Chinese people who never learned to speak English who live in America.
You can detect the disease by western blot testing which helps to differentiate the immune response elicited by infection from that induced by vaccination. " Since 1995, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that serological testing for Lyme disease consist of a two-tiered approach an initial screening with an enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) or an indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test, followed by a Western blot to corroborate a positive or suspect test result(CDC)". Whole cell antigens of the Borreliaburgdorferispirochete are assumed to be rapidlysequestered by the follicular dendritic cells, resulting in long-lived B cell memory. Dogs tested for whole-cell antibodies rarely have a significant decrease in antibody, even as successful treatment lowers the Borreliaburgdorferi

Malaria is the most common disease in third world countries with a tropical climate; the disease is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes. In the human body, the parasites multiply in the liver, and then infect red blood cells. Symptoms of malaria include fever, headache, and vomiting, and usually appear between 10 and 15 days after the mosquito bite. If not treated, malaria can quickly become life-threatening by disrupting the blood supply to vital organs. In many parts of the world, the parasites have developed resistance to a number of malaria medicines.
