Homoeopathic prophylaxis in Kyasanur Forest Disease Virus (KFDV) infection

A pilot retrospective study to understand the symptomatology of Kyasanur Forest Disease Virus (KFDV) infection to formulate possible homoeopathic prophylactics/ therapeutics and to identify the correlation with viral variations in the stored samples at Manipal Institute of Virology, Karnataka - NIL

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Level 1 Identification of the possible homoeopathic prophylactics/ therapeutics indicated for KFDV infection based on the observed symptomatology pattern from the last 4 KFD outbreaks. Level 2 Quantifying the viral load from the last 4 KFD outbreaks and identifying the change in homoeopathic prophylactics/ therapeutics indicated for KFDV infection based on the severity of viral load. Identification of the viral genome variations using Next Genome Sequencing (NGS) and correlation with the symptomatology of KFD and identified homoeopathic prophylactics/ therapeutics.Timepoint: Level 1- 3 months Level 2- 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To preliminarily understand and correlate the cytokine responses in KFDV infections with the viral load. Timepoint: 6 months
