In terms of measures of isolation for many houses – the only way of relaxation. On the other hand, approximating the heat carries with it the mosquito attack. And suddenly, the insects can transmit the virus from person to person? Doctors believe that there is. Mosquitoes, gnats and ticks can be carriers of the coronavirus, as it is not stable and not capable of vector-borne transmission, i.e. via the bite of an insect.
Why other diseases are transmitted through insects? For example, malaria, tick-borne encephalitis or typhus.
-Coronavirus is not malaria, which is really transmitted by a mosquito, – told the “MK” dermatologist Olga Shevchenko. – Malaria we are dealing with the whole microorganism is a Plasmodium. It is the causative agent of the disease. Another terrible disease that you can catch from biting – typhus. But it’s a bacterial infection. Get it now almost impossible to catch typhus only in the full list, pediculosis and weakening of the immune system, such as during wars and deep social upheaval.
Another frequently encountered on the territory of Russia the virus that is transmitted from blood-sucking to a man is tick-borne encephalitis. It is very durable, extremely long lives in the body of the carrier.
–as for the coronavirus COVID-19 – it is unstable and short-lived. Still, there was no evidence of transmission of this type of viruses from blood-sucking to the man. This means COVID-19 should not be afraid to pick up from mosquitoes or gnats.
Olga Shevchenko said: coronavirus COVID-19 is transmitted by airborne droplets, contact-household and faecal-oral route. The doctor calls as often as possible to wash hands, keep distance, to avoid the crowds. Do not forget to strengthen the immune system: try to worry less, get enough sleep, eat well, do not forget about vitamins and minerals.
