new epidemic in the indian ocean-chikungunya. Description

The epidemic of Chikungunya-a crippling disease-is affecting the Indian Ocean islands of Reunion-140,000 cases,Mauritius:1200,causing severe economic blow to the fragile touristic economy.

Due to contact with the local populationor mosquitoes,tourists from France-2-also got the disease,which has claimed the lives of 77 persons in Reunion.

The French government has sent officials on the island,and promised a help of $78,000,000 to counteract the effects of the epidemic.

In the past,the Us Army had invented a vaccine against the virus,but is no more available.So,I'm appealing to anyone who has more infos on the subject to contact me,as the disease can go global,if not taken seriously.There are thousands of Americans in the Indian ocean-Diego island base.

The natural mosquito insecticide from NEEM oil,should be used,but others are being used,causing great damage to the eco-system.

The NEEM leaves are also used in India to cure those affected by this disease,taht can handicap people for months.
