Introduction. Kyasanur Forest disease (KFD) virus (KFDV) is an emerging tick-borne pathogen and a member of the genus Flavivirus within the family Flaviviridae.KFDV is prevalent in southern parts of India, where it causes acute hemorrhagic illness in humans and wild nonhuman primates 1,2.Transmission of KFDV to humans occurs after an infected tick bite (mainly Haemaphysalis spinigera) or
The KFD virus is a typical flavivirus measuring about 40-60 nm in diameter. The genome of KFDV consists of 10,774 nucleotides of single-stranded, positive-sense RNA encoding a single polyprotein that is cleaved post-translationally into three structural (C, prM/M and E) and seven non-structural (NS1, NS2a, NS2b, NS3, NS4a, NS4b and NS5) proteins. [6] [7] [8] The genome of KFDV is very
In early studies of KFD, suckling mice were used for the propagation and identification of virus through the intracerebral (IC) inoculation of serum or tissues from wild primates or patients (Work, 1958; Work et al., 1957). At that time, the use of suckling mice was a standard means of cultivating most arboviruses and for generating viral
The KFD virus is an arbovirus belonging to the Flaviviridae family. Arboviruses are arthropod-borne viruses: i.e., infections transmitted mainly by small animals like arachnids and insects. Most
Kyasanur forest disease (KFD) or monkey fever is a unique public health problem along the belts of Western Ghats of India. The disease is caused by KFD virus (KFDV) which is an arbovirus, family Flaviviridae1. Humans are infected by the bite of tick and present with fever, sometimes haemorrhagic and/or neurological features2.

Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD) is a tick-borne viral hemorrhagic fever endemic to the forests of Karnataka, India. First identified in 1957, the disease has since become a significant public health concern in affected regions. Understanding KFD, its kyasanur forest disease symptoms, and preventive measures is crucial for mitigating its impact.
The present manuscript deals with experimental infections of bonnet macaques (Macaca radiata) to study disease progression for better insights into the Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD) pathogenesis and transmission.Experimentally, 10 monkeys were inoculated with KFD virus (KFDV) (high or low dose) and were regularly monitored and sampled for various body fluids and tissues at preset time points.
Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD), a tick-borne hemorrhagic fever of man, is caused by KFD virus (KFDV) belonging to the family Flaviviridae.Haemaphysalis spinigera, a highly anthropophagic tick, is the vector of KFDV.KFD in humans presents with high fever, frontal headache, and severe myalgia, followed by bleeding from the nasal cavity, throat, gingivae, and in some cases, gastrointestinal tract.

It is caused by the Kyasanur Forest disease Virus (KFDV), which primarily affects humans and monkeys. It was first identified in 1957 in a sick monkey from the Kyasanur Forest in Karnataka. Since then, between 400-500 human cases per year have been reported. Eventually, KFD emerged as a grave public health problem spreading through the entire
The strategy involves mass vaccination in areas reporting KFD activity (i.e., laboratory evidence of KFD virus [KFDV] in monkeys, humans, or ticks) and in villages within a 5-km radius of such areas (Directorate of Health and Family Welfare Services, Government of Karnataka, 2005 manual on Kyasanur Forest disease; unpub. data).
