What are the types of insect borne diseases?

The common vector insects include mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, bedbugs, lice, fleas, ants and so on. In addition, they also include midges, blackflies, flies, sandflies and so on. The sources of infection and vectors of different insect borne diseases are different. Taking encephalitis B as an example, Liu Qiyong said that epidemic encephalitis B, also known as "Japanese encephalitis", is an acute infectious disease of the central nervous system with brain parenchyma inflammation as the main lesion.

It is a natural focus of disease, epidemic in summer and autumn, the pathogen is Japanese encephalitis virus, transmitted by mosquitoes. Culex, Aedes and some species of Anopheles can transmit the disease, and Culex tritaeniorhynchus is the main vector. The main source of JE infection is pigs. Recently, many places across the country have given Japanese encephalitis vaccine to pet pigs and commercial pigs urgently. In fact, it is to control the source of infection of Japanese encephalitis.

Epidemic typhus is transmitted by lice bite, and people are generally susceptible to it. It starts in winter and spring, with acute chills, high fever, persistent fever, severe headache, body pain, nausea, vomiting, red face and red ears. Skin rash is an important feature of the disease, often with excitement, mania, mental disorders, delirium and even coma
