The chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an RNA virus that is transmitted to humans by Aedes mosquitos commonly found in tropical and subtropical countries. In humans, CHIKV causes an infection with symptoms strikingly like those of the dengue virus and Zika disease, both of which are also transmitted to humans by the same genus of mosquitos. This book delves into the history of the disease and the molecular characterization of the virus. It sheds light on modern diagnosis tools that allow unambiguous identification of CHIKV infection. In addition, this book addresses the epidemiology of chikungunya fever, the distribution and spread of the disease, and the promising approaches under consideration for preventing and treating the disease.
Penyakit tular vektor dan zoonosis merupakan salah satu penyakit yang ditularkan artropoda.

Sistem saraf adalah sistem yang paling kompleks dalam tubuh manusia. Sistem ini terdiri atas organ otak, medula spinalis, organ sensori, dan semua nervus yang menghubungkan organ-organ ini dengan organ lain di seluruh tubuh. Buku ini membahas aspek anatomi, histologi, biokimia, dan fisiologi dari organ-organ sistem saraf, yang meliputi sistem saraf pusat, sistem saraf tepi, dan sistem saraf otonom meliputi serebrum, serebelum, medula spinalis, nervus kranialis, dan organ serta jaringan pendukung lainnya seperti meninges, ventrikulus, dan lain-lain, secara mendalam dan komprehensif. Sistem saraf sangat menarik untuk dipelajari karena fungsi sistem ini sebagai regulator dan sangat berkaitan de...
Buku lalat ini merupakan salah satu dari sangat sedikit seri buku yang membahas lalat secara khusus yang pernah diterbitkan dalam bahasa Indonesia. Buku ini memuat berbagai hal mengenai lalat secara komprehensif dan lengkap, mulai dari definisi lalat, histori lalat di dunia, dan peran lalat bagi manusia. Buku ini juga menjelaskan mengenai taksonomi dan biologi lalat; siklus hidup, perilaku, dan habitat lalat; peran lalat dalam menularkan penyakit; deteksi mikroorganisme patogenik pada lalat; teknik survei lalat; peran lalat dalam entomologi forensik; dan pengendalian lalat. Buku ini disusun dengan bahasa sederhana dan mudah dimengerti, meskipun sebelumnya pembaca awam terhadap pengetahuan mengenai lalat. Semoga buku ini bisa memberikan kontribusi dalam mendukung literasi masyarakat umum dan menjadi pelengkap bagi masyarakat ilmiah, khususnya pemerhati serangga penular penyakit di Indonesia.

This edited volume brings together natural scientists, social scientists and humanists to assess if (or how) we may begin to coexist harmoniously with the mosquito. The mosquito is humanity’s deadliest animal, killing over a million people each year by transmitting malaria, yellow fever, Zika and several other diseases. Yet of the 3,500 species of mosquito on Earth, only a few dozen of them are really dangerous—so that the question arises as to whether humans and their mosquito foe can learn to live peacefully with one another. Chapters assess polarizing arguments for conserving and preserving mosquitoes, as well as for controlling and killing them, elaborating on possible consequences o...
Despite significant improvements in many health outcomes over the past 60 years, many chronic problems in Indonesia’s health system including financial sustainability, governance and inequities in accessing health care have long been apparent, even before the COVID-19 pandemic. The epidemiological transition associated with demographic and socioeconomic change in recent decades makes Indonesia one of many countries that still struggle to address the issues of communicable, maternal and nutritional diseases while facing an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases. The contributors to In Sickness and In Health: Diagnosing Indonesia investigate challenges and opportunities facing the In...
Dengue Fever is the fastest emerging arboviral infection with major public health consequences for millions of people around the world, and in particular the South-East Asia region. These regional guidelines were extensively revised, updated and expanded with the focus on new and additional topics of current relevance to the populations of the region. They are intended to provide guidance to national and local-level program managers and public health officials, as well as stakeholders, including health practitioners, laboratory personnel and multisectoral partners, in strategic planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and strengthening the response to dengue prevention and control in their countries. Scientists and researchers involved in vaccine and antiviral drug development will also find crucial baseline information in this publication.
