WHO Key Factshttps://www.who.int/en/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail/vector‐borne‐diseases
• Vector‐borne diseases account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases, causing more than 700,000 deaths annually.
• More than 3.9 billion people in over 128 countries are at risk of contracting Dengue, with 96 million cases estimated per year.
• Malaria causes more than 400,000 deaths every year globally, most of them children under 5 years of age.
• Other diseases such as Chagas disease, leishmaniasis and schistosomiasis affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
• Many of these diseases are preventable through informed protective measures.

WIDOW SPIDERS• Red coloration on the underside of
their abdomen.• Workplaces containing undisturbed
areas.• Two puncture marks in the skin.• The venom is a neurotoxin that
produces pain at the bite area and then spreads to the chest, abdomen, or the entire body.
![Page 8: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
BROWN RECLUSE SPIDERS• Brown in color with a characteristic dark violin‐shaped (or fiddle‐shaped) marking on its head and has six equal‐sized eyes (most spiders have eight eyes).
• Brown recluse spiders are usually found in workplaces with secluded, dry, sheltered areas
• Bites may cause a stinging sensation with localized pain.
• A small white blister usually develops at the site of the bite.
• Severe lesion with skin necrosis
![Page 9: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Generic sketch for transmission of diseases by ectoparasites (vectors). • Blocking of transmission can in principle occur at every stage, but most drugs aim to interfere during “Attachment” phase and/or “Feeding & Transmission” phase.

Early Signs and Symptoms (3 to 30 days after tick bite)
• Fever, chills, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes
• Erythema migrans (EM) rash: – Occurs in approximately 70 to 80 percent of infected persons– Begins at the site of a tick bite after a delay of 3 to 30 days (average is about 7
days)– Expands gradually over a period of days reaching up to 12 inches or more (30
cm) across– May feel warm to the touch but is rarely itchy or painful– Sometimes clears as it enlarges, resulting in a target or “bull’s‐eye” appearance– May appear on any area of the body
![Page 18: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Post‐Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome• Non‐specific symptoms (like fatigue, pain, and joint and muscle aches) after the treatment of Lyme disease as having post‐treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) or post Lyme disease syndrome (PLDS).
• The cause of PTLDS is not known.• The term “chronic Lyme disease” (CLD) has been used to describe people with different illnesses:– In many occasions it has been used to describe symptoms in people who have no
evidence of a current or past infection with B. burgdorferi (Infect Dis Clin N Am.22:341‐60, 2008).
– Because of the confusion of term CLD experts do not support its use (New Engl J Med. 357:1422‐30, 2008).

– American dog tick in the Eastern, Central and Western United States
– Rocky Mountain wood tick in the Rocky Mountain states– Brown dog tick in the Southwestern United States, along the U.S.‐Mexico border.
• Rapidly fatal if not treated within the first 5 days of symptoms.
• Before tetracycline antibiotics were available, case fatality rates ranged from 20–80%
• Incubation Period: 3–12 days
![Page 24: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Signs and SymptomsEarly (1–4 Days)• High fever• Severe headache• Malaise• Myalgia• Edema around eyes and on the back of hands• Gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, anorexia)Late (5 Days and Beyond)• Altered mental status, coma, cerebral edema• Respiratory compromise (pulmonary edema, ARDS)• Necrosis, requiring amputation• Multi‐organ system damage (CNS, renal failure)
![Page 25: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Rash• 2–5 days after onset of symptoms• 10% never develop a rash• Decision to treat should not be based on presence of rashEarly Rash• Maculopapular: Small, flat, pink, non‐itchy spots (macules) initially
appear on the wrists, forearms, and ankles then spread to the trunk and sometimes palms and soles
Late Rash• Petechial: Red to purple spots (petechiae) are usually not seen until day 6
or later after onset of symptoms• Petechial rash is considered a sign of progression to severe disease. Every
attempt should be made to begin treatment before petechiae develop
![Page 26: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DiagnosisGeneral Laboratory Findings• Thrombocytopenia• Elevated hepatic transaminases• Hyponatremia• NOTE: Laboratory values are often within normal limits in early illness.Laboratory Diagnosis• Four‐fold change (typically rise) in IgG‐specific antibody titer by indirect immunofluorescence
antibody (IFA) assay in paired serum samples.• Detection of DNA in a skin biopsy specimen of a rash lesion by PCR assay or in an acute phase
whole blood specimen. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of organism from skin or tissue biopsy specimen.
• NOTE: Antibody titers are frequently negative in the first 7–10 days of illness. • NOTE: IgM antibodies are less specific than IgG antibodies and are more likely to generate false
positives. IgM results alone should not be used for laboratory diagnosis.

Treatment• Anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, and spotted fever group rickettsioses are treated with doxycycline.
• Clinical suspicion of any of these diseases is sufficient to begin treatment.
• Delay in treatment may result in severe illness and even death.
• Consult an infectious disease specialist in cases of pregnancy or life‐threatening allergy to doxycycline.

TICK BITE PROPHYLAXISNo antimicrobial prophylaxis for prevention of Lyme disease recommendedIn highly endemic areas for Lyme disease:• A single dose of doxycycline may be offered to adult patients (200 mg) who are not
pregnant • Children older than 8 years of age (4 mg/kg up to a maximum dose of 200 mg) When all of the following circumstances exist:
a. Doxycycline is not contraindicated.b. The attached tick can be identified as an adult or nymphal I. scapularis tick.c. The estimated time of attachment is ≥36 h based on the degree of engorgement of
the tick with blood or likely time of exposure to the tick.d. Prophylaxis can be started within 72 h of tick removal.e. Lyme disease is common in the county or state where the patient lives or has recently
traveled
![Page 36: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
TICK BITE PROPHYLAXISAnaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, or Rocky Mountain spotted fever:Not recommended as a means to prevent illness BUT• Persons who experience a tick bite should consult a physician if fever, rash, or other symptoms of concern develop.
Tularemia prophylaxis is recommended only in cases of laboratory exposure to infectious materials:• Doxycycline (100 mg orally BID X 14 days) is generally recommended for prophylaxis in adults.
• Ciprofloxacin (500 mg orally BID) not FDA‐approved for prophylaxis but may be an alternative for patients unable to take doxycycline.

Clinical Signs & Symptoms• The incubation period is 2 to 6 days• 70‐80% subclinical or asymptomatic• Acute systemic febrile illness with:– Headache– Weakness– Myalgia, or arthralgia– Gastrointestinal symptoms– Transient maculopapular rash
![Page 53: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Neuroinvasive Disease • Less than 1% have meningitis, encephalitis, or acute flaccid
paralysis.• WNV meningitis is clinically indistinguishable from viral
meningitis • WNV encephalitis is a more severe clinical syndrome that
usually manifests with fever and altered mental status, seizures, focal neurologic deficits, or movement disorders such as tremor or parkinsonism.
![Page 54: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• Most women known to have been infected with WNV during pregnancy have delivered infants without evidence of infection or clinical abnormalities
• Routine clinical laboratory studies are generally nonspecific.• In patients with neuroinvasive disease, CSF examination generally shows lymphocytic pleocytosis
• Brain magnetic resonance imaging is frequently normal– Signal abnormalities in the basal ganglia, thalamus, and
brainstem may be seen in patients with encephalitis, and in the anterior spinal cord in patients with poliomyelitis.
![Page 55: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
WNV Diagnosis• Serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to detect WNV‐specific IgM antibodies.
• WNV‐specific IgM antibodies are usually detectable 3 to 8 days after onset of illness and persist for 30 to 90 days
• WNV IgG antibodies generally are detected shortly after IgM antibodies and persist for many years following a symptomatic or asymptomatic infection
• Viral cultures and tests to detect viral RNA (e.g., reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction [RT‐PCR]) can be performed on serum, CSF, and tissue specimens.
![Page 56: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Treatment• No vaccine or specific antiviral treatments for West Nile
virus infection are available.• Over‐the‐counter pain relievers can be used to reduce fever
and relieve some symptoms.• In severe cases, patients often need to be hospitalized to
receive supportive treatment, such as intravenous fluids, pain medication, and nursing care.

Chikungunya
Aedesmosquitoes
![Page 58: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Where Has Chikungunya Virus Been Found?
• Prior to 2013, chikungunya virus cases and outbreaks had been identified in countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
• In late 2013, the first local transmission of chikungunya virus in the Americas was identified in Caribbean countries and territories. Local transmission means that mosquitoes in the area have been infected with the virus and are spreading it to people. The virus then spread throughout most of the Americas.
![Page 59: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Transmission
• Most often spread to people by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes.
• Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on a person already infected with the virus.
• Infected mosquitoes then spread the virus to other people through bites.
• Rarely, from mother to child inutero • Rarely, through infected blood
![Page 60: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Symptoms• Most will develop some symptoms• Symptoms usually begin 3–7 days after being• Most common symptoms are fever and joint pain• Other symptoms may include headache, muscle pain, joint swelling,
or rash• Does not often result in death, but the symptoms can be severe and
disabling• Most patients feel better within a week• In some people, the joint pain may persist for months• Once infected, protected from future infections
![Page 61: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Laboratory Diagnosis
• Serum or plasma to detect virus, viral nucleic acid, or virus‐specific immunoglobulin (Ig) M and neutralizing antibodies.
• Viral culture may detect virus in the first 3 days of illness; however, chikungunya virus should be handled under biosafety level (BSL) 3 conditions.
• During the first 8 days of illness, chikungunya viral RNA can often be identified in serum.
![Page 62: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Treatment• There is no vaccine to prevent or medicine to treat virus• Treat the symptoms:
– Rest– Drink fluids to prevent dehydration– Take medicine such as acetaminophen or paracetamol to reduce fever and pain– NO aspirin and other non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS until dengue can be ruled out to reduce the risk of bleeding)
• Prevent mosquito bites for the first week of illness– During the first week of infection, chikungunya virus can be found in the blood and passed from an infected person to a mosquito through mosquito bites
– An infected mosquito can then spread the virus to other people
![Page 63: Arthropod‐borne Infections and Conditions...CAQ Hospice and Palliative Medicine ASTMH Certificate of Knowledge in Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health Arthropod‐borne Infections](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060309/5f0a73067e708231d42bb046/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Zika
• Aedes species mosquito – Aggressive daytime biters. – Also bite at night.
• Zika can be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus.• Infection during pregnancy can cause certain birth defects.• There is no vaccine or medicine.

Modes of Transmission• Single‐stranded RNA virus of the Flaviviridae family, genus Flavivirus. Zika
• Bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito (Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus). T
• Nonhuman and human primates are likely the main reservoirs of the virus, and anthroponotic (human‐to‐vector‐to‐human) transmission occurs during outbreaks.
• Perinatal, in utero, and possible sexual and transfusion transmission events have been reported.
• Identified in asymptomatic blood donors during an ongoing outbreak.

Treatment• No specific antiviral treatment • Supportive and can include rest, fluids, and use of analgesics and antipyretics.
• Evaluated and managed for possible dengue or chikungunya virus infection.
• Aspirin and other non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) should be avoided until dengue can be ruled out to reduce the risk of hemorrhage.
• Should be protected from further mosquito exposure during the first few days of illness to prevent other mosquitoes from becoming infected and reduce the risk of local transmission.
