9. Treatment:
As of now, there is nospecifictreatmentmethodfor the infection with CQV.
In severe cases, intensive medical care is essential, with the constant
monitoring of respiratory activity, control of fluid and electrolyte
balance, and the prevention of secondary infections. Ways to prevent the
CQV transmission and spread are similar to those routine preventive
measuresfor the spread of other infectious virusestransmittedby
mosquitoes (Carpenter et al., 2013; Sakkas et al., 2018).The use of
insect repellent, anti-mosquito lotions, wearing a cloth that covers the
arms and legs, and proper closingof window screens can reduce exposure
to mosquito bites, thereby reduging the virus transmission.As an
alternative, several natural compounds (picaridin, pyrethrins, and
azadirachtin) and plant-derived essential oils (levanter, neem,
geraniol, and eucalyptus) have been recommended as mosquito repellents
(Carpenter et al., 2013; Hoch et al., 1986). Additionally, source
reduction, i.e., removal of stagnant open water sources, including water
in flower vases, potted plants, man-made containers, water-circualted
air-coolers, referigeratorsdeforst water collection containers, etc.,
where mosquitoes tend to breed both indoor and outdoors around our house
premises, and terrace.Most importantly, followgeneral hygiene, limiting
contact with vector saliva, urine, feces, or bedding might prevent the
spread of the virus (González et al., 2016).
