KFD in Karnataka: Experts call for new strategy in tackling monkey fever
OCTOBER 8, 2019 BY KEREAN WATTS LEAVE A COMMENT
Experts have called for Karnataka to formulate a new strategy in tackling Kyasanur forest disease (KFD) or ‘monkey fever’.
The disease, which is endemic in south Asia, made headlines at the beginning of this year following an outbreak in the Shivamogga district. Between November 2018 and April 2019, 342 KFD infections were reported in the district with twelve deaths.
KFD is caused by the Kyasanur forest disease virus (KFDV), which is spread to humans by tick bites or through contact with an infected animal, such as a monkey. At the time, lapses in protocol on the part of the state health department concerning vaccination were flagged. Vaccination against the KFDV should take place within ten kilometres of any known infected person or infected animal. Reports suggested that this did not occur, leading to the outbreak.
