Back Pressure of Dengue in Pakistan, are we ignoring Congo virus too?

Let see factual aspect?
We are not still working on "How did dengue spread in Pakistan?"
Might possible, we may be able to plan for future.

Dengue outbreak started from Karachi where vector was controlled successfully as natural slope topography, water doesnt stay, or make ponds. Except, if sewerage channels are not blocked.
Karachi being the city of immigrants for earning livelihood, people returned home on EIDs and it facilitated to develop inoculum at smaller level. Due to Karachi unrest and other issues, industry moved to Lahore and other cities and so the laborers too, which helped to develop the inoculum in Lahore also.
But still there is a mystery? How does the Aedes  boost in short time in Lahore? Its not gradual? You may disagree? But I think reasons is negligence and not focusing in unaffected areas?

CM Punjab,Tablet PC, and Health Insurance

It was announced by CM Punjab to replace books with tablet PCs for 6th grade and above classes. What do we really need? Do we need tablets or to improve standard of education system, I think Standard of education system. Lap top scheme was launched and distributed among students, I have seen teachers and professors to complaint we should also be given Laptops. What CM wants to do? He is creating a severe gap among people and different class of people. The money to be wasted on tablet PCs should be given to Textile industry so that we may increase our exports and create more opportunities for employment.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Muslim, world



Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Muslim, World
We are now global village and in village things spread/shared quickly. Solution is always present in or around the problem.
Muslims from all over the world are performing Hajj now and this Hajj is very much important regarding recent threat of respiratory syndrome in Saudi Arabia. As there is no vaccination is available for this virus so it will determine the fate of Muslim Ummah and rest of the world. Uptill now 82 laboratory-confirmed cases of human infection with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV); 72% have been male. Forty five of the confirmed cases have died.

Let them Do their Job?



Nature has always selected and reserved right person for the right job, why don’t we apply this to insects? Let’s help flowers finding their friends.
Oxford is a beautiful town of Mississippi, USA which reminds me of Islamabad, Pakistan, similar in topography, climate and vegetation, especially orange leaves of maple tree in fall like a heaven on earth. Spring full of colorful life of plants, smiling and welcoming the spring with colorful flowers and these flowers awaiting for our attention and their friends (Insect, Honey bees, Pollinators) to meet and play with. It appears that they are throwing different colors of pollens on one another on the waves of cool refreshing air, celebrating the spring in its true sense. In the towns, like Islamabad and Oxford, where natural vegetation has been well taken care of and conserved, these pollens if present in high amount in air causes some disturbance for human beings called pollen allergy. But if I say it the other way round that they are sending message to humans that we are missing something or someone and you are responsible for this.

Dengue, Global Village and Pakistan



We are now global village and in village things spread/shared quickly. Solution is always present in or around the problem.
Dengue fever is the most prevailing mosquito borne viral disease in the human. The virus is transmitted by the tiger mosquito (Aedes aegypti). Around 40% of the world population is at risk of infection with Dengue virus. Every year 50 million people get infected with the virus, causing classical dengue fever (DF) such as hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome. Traditionally, Southeast Asian countries have major outbreaks of Dengue every 3-5 years. Outbreaks increasing because of relocation of people from rural to cities or vice versa.
