Ukubhekana Nosongo Lwe-Eastern Equine Encephalitis

Imibiko yakamuva yamacala e-Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) e-United States ikhulise ukukhathazeka mayelana nokulawulwa nokuvinjelwa kwezifo ezithwalwa omiyane. I-EEE, nakuba ingavamile, isifo esiyingozi kakhulu esibangelwa omiyane, esikwazi ukuholela ekuvuvukeni okukhulu kobuchopho, ukulimala kwezinzwa, futhi, kwezinye izimo, nokufa. Ingozi iphakeme ikakhulukazi ezinganeni, abantu abadala, nalabo abanamasosha omzimba asengozini.

Omiyane nabo banesibopho sokusabalalisa ezinye izifo ezisongela ukuphila, njengodenga nomalaleveva. Udenga ukutheleleka ngegciwane okubonakaliswa umkhuhlane ophezulu, ikhanda elibuhlungu, nobuhlungu obukhulu bamalunga nemisipha. Ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, ingadlulela kumkhuhlane wodenga, okuholela ekopheni kwangaphakathi kanye nemiphumela engase ibulale. Umalaleveva, osakazwa omiyane, ubangelwa izimuncagazi zePlasmodium, ezinezimpawu ezihlanganisa ukugodola okuphindaphindiwe, imfiva kanye ne-anemia. Izimo ezimbi kakhulu zingaholela ekuhlulekeni kwezinso, i-coma, nokufa. Emhlabeni wonke, izigidi zinqotshwa yilezi zifo ezithwalwa omiyane unyaka ngamunye, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezishisayo nezishisayo lapho usongo lunzima kakhulu.

Siyakuqonda ukubaluleka okubalulekile kokunciphisa ukubhebhetheka kwalezi zifo eziyingozi. Ukuze sibe nesandla kulo mzamo, sethule amalambu athuthukile okuvimbela omiyane ahlanganisa ubuchwepheshe besimanje be-UV LED, eklanyelwe ngokukhethekile ukunciphisa ingozi yokudluliselwa kwezifo ngempumelelo.

Amalambu ethu okuvikela omiyane anenhlanganisela yama-chips angu-365nm nama-395nm UV LED. Lokhu kusetha kwe-wavelength ekabili kufakazelwe ukuthi kuheha omiyane ngokuphumelelayo, okuholela ekubanjweni okuphezulu. Lokhu akunciphisi nje kuphela amathuba okulunywa omiyane abanamagciwane kodwa futhi kusiza ekulawuleni ukusakazeka kwe-EEE, udenga, nomalaleveva.

Njengoba siqhubeka nokuhlala siqaphile ngokumelene ne-EEE nezinye izifo ezithwalwa omiyane, inhloso yethu ukuvikela impilo nokuphepha kwemiphakathi ngokusebenzisa izixazululo ezintsha nezithembekile. Amalambu ethu okuvikela omiyane ahlanganisa ukuzinikela kwethu empilweni yomphakathi.

Ukuze uthole imininingwane eyengeziwe mayelana nezibani zethu zokuvimbela omiyane nokuthi zingasiza kanjani ukuvimbela izifo ezithwalwa omiyane, sicela uvakashele iwebhusayithi yethu.
