I te marama o Hepetema 2018, ā, e ai ki a ia, kua paku pāngia a Vandenberg e te "mate pāwera", 67 ōna tau i taua wā, me te mea he rewharewha tōna.
I pāngia ia e te mumura o te roro. I ngaro i a ia te kaha ki te pānui me te tuhituhi. I ngoikore ōna ringa me ōna waewae i te pararutiki.
Ahakoa i tēnei raumati i kitea te mate tuatahi o te rohe i roto i ngā tekau tau e rua o tētahi atu mate e pā ana ki te waeroa, arā, te malaria, ko te huaketo o te Nile Hauāuru me ngā waeroa e hora ana i taua mate ngā mea tino āwangawanga i ngā āpiha hauora ā-motu.
I kī a Roxanne Connelly, he tohunga pepeke hauora i te Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ko ngā pepeke, he momo waeroa e kiia nei ko Culex, "te take tino āwangawanga mō te Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) i tēnei wā i te whenua o te Hononga o Amerika".
Nā te ua nui o te tau o tēnei tau nā te ua me te hukarere e rewa ana, me te wera nui hoki, te āhua nei i piki ake ai te taupori namu.
E ai ki ngā kaipūtaiao o te CDC, kei te kaha haere te ātete o ēnei waeroa ki ngā patu pepeke e kitea ana i roto i ngā rehu maha e whakamahia ana e te marea hei patu i ngā waeroa me ā rātou hua.
"Ehara tēnā i te tohu pai," te kī a Connelly. "Kei te ngaro ētahi o ngā taputapu e whakamahia ana e mātou hei whakahaere i ngā waeroa kua pangia e te huaketo."
I te Whare Taiwhanga Pepeke o te Centers for Disease Control and Prevention i Fort Collins, Colorado, te kāinga o ngā mano tini namu, i kitea e te tīma a Connelly he roa ake te ora o ngā namu Culex i muri i te pānga kingā patu pepeke.
"Me hiahia koe ki tētahi hua e whakapoauau ana i a rātou, kaua e mahi," te kī a Connelly, me te tohu ki tētahi pounamu waeroa kua pāngia e ngā matū. He maha tonu ngā tāngata e rere ana.
Kāore i kitea he ātete ki ngā patu pepeke e whakamahia ana e te tangata hei pei i ngā waeroa i te wā e hikoi ana, e mahi ana rānei i waho i roto i ngā whakamātautau taiwhanga. I kī a Connelly kei te pai tonu te puta o ēnei patu.
I te mea ka kaha ake te kaha o ngā pepeke i ngā patupatu, kei te piki haere hoki tō rātou tokomaha i ētahi wāhanga o te whenua.
E ai ki ngā Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, tae noa ki te tau 2023, e 69 ngā kēhi tangata kua pangia e te huaketo West Nile i roto i te Hononga o Amerika. Ehara tēnei i te rekoata: i te tau 2003, e 9,862 ngā kēhi i tuhia.
Engari i muri i ngā tekau tau e rua, nā te nui haere o ngā waeroa, ka nui ake te tūponotanga ka ngaua te tangata, ka pāngia hoki e te mate. Ko te nuinga o ngā keehi i West Nile ka piki ake i te marama o Ākuhata me Hepetema.
"Koinei te tīmatanga noa iho o te whanaketanga o te West Nile i te Hononga o Amerika," te kī a Tākuta Erin Staples, he tohunga mate urutā hauora i te taiwhanga Centers for Disease Control and Prevention i Fort Collins. "E matapaetia ana ka piki haere ngā keehi i roto i ngā wiki torutoru e whai ake nei."
Hei tauira, 149 ngā mahanga waeroa i Maricopa County, Arizona, i whakamātauhia he pai mō te huaketo West Nile i tēnei tau, ki te whakarite ki te waru i te tau 2022.
I kī a John Townsend, te kaiwhakahaere whakahaere i ngā mate urungi mō ngā Ratonga Taiao o te Rohe o Maricopa, ko te wai tū mai i ngā ua nui me te wera nui te āhua nei kei te kino haere te āhuatanga.
"He tino pai te wai o reira mō ngā waeroa ki te whakaputa hua ki roto," te kī a Townsend. "Ka tere ake te pao o ngā waeroa i roto i te wai mahana - i roto i ngā rā e toru ki te whā, ki te whakaritea ki ngā wiki e rua i roto i te wai matao," tana kī.
I puta mai hoki i te marama o Hune, he ua nui whakaharahara i Larimer County, Colorado, te wāhi kei reira te taiwhanga o Fort Collins, he "nuinga kore o mua" o ngā waeroa ka taea te tuku i te huaketo West Nile, e ai ki a Tom Gonzalez, te kaiwhakahaere hauora tūmatanui o te rohe.
E whakaatu ana ngā raraunga o te kaunihera e rima ngā wā ka nui ake ngā waeroa i West Nile i tēnei tau i tērā tau.
I kī a Connelly he "tino āwangawanga" te tipu ōhanga i ētahi wāhanga o te whenua. "He rerekē i ngā mea kua kitea e tātou i ngā tau kua taha ake nei."
Mai i te kitenga tuatahi o te huaketo West Nile i te United States i te tau 1999, kua noho koia te mate tino noa e kawea ana e te namu i te motu. E ai ki a Staples e mano tini ngā tāngata e pangia ana i ia tau.
Kāore te West Nile e horapa mai i te tangata ki te tangata mā te pa atu noa. Ka horapa noa te huaketo e ngā waeroa Culex. Ka pangia ēnei pepeke ina ngau i ngā manu mate, kātahi ka horapa atu te huaketo ki te tangata mā te ngau anō.
Ko te nuinga o te tangata kāore e rongo i tetahi mea. E ai ki te CDC, kotahi i roto i te tokorima o te tangata ka pāngia e te kirika, te ānini, te mamae o te tinana, te ruaki me te korere. Ko te tikanga ka puta ngā tohu i roto i ngā rā 3–14 i muri i te ngau.
Kotahi i roto i te 150 o ngā tāngata kua pangia e te huaketo West Nile ka pāngia e ngā raruraru nui, tae atu ki te mate. Ka taea e te tangata katoa te pāngia e te mate kino, engari i kī a Staples ko te hunga neke atu i te 60 tau te pakeke me te hunga he mate hauora kei roto i a rātou te mōrearea nui ake.
E rima tau i muri i te tātaritanga o te mate West Nile ki a Vandenberg, kua hoki mai anō ōna pūkenga ki te rongoā tinana. Heoi anō, i haere tonu te ngoikore o ōna waewae, ā, ka whakawhirinaki ia ki ngā tokotoko.
I te hinganga o Vandenberg i taua ata o Hepetema 2018, i te haerenga atu ia ki te tangihanga o tētahi hoa i mate i ngā raruraru mai i te huaketo West Nile.
"He tino kino rawa atu te mate nei, ā, me mōhio te iwi ki tēnā. Ka taea e ia te whakarerekē i tō koiora," tana kī.
Ahakoa kei te piki haere te ātete ki ngā patu pepeke, i kitea e te tīma a Connolly kei te whai hua tonu ngā patu pepeke e whakamahia ana e te tangata i waho. E ai ki te Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), he pai ake te whakamahi i ngā patu pepeke kei roto ngā kai pēnei i te DEET me te picaridin.
