I thought you were making up this word!  lol  My apologies for the assumption.\n\n"Chikungunya is a rare form of viral fever caused by an alphavirus that is spread by mosquito bites from the Aedes aegypti mosquito."\n\nI don't know if tsunami necessarily equals chikungunya but it doesn't surprise me that something like that would crop up afterwards.  Mosquitoes breed and multiply where there's standing water.  What happens after a tsunami where water floods areas where no water was or should be?  It stands arounds until it is either pumped out or evaporates. \n\nAs this is a rare malady, a more common disease to occur is malaria.

It could be a parasite but it could also be a anal fissure or fistula.\n\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic495.htm

A wide variety of things can cause this.  You can learn about the most common ones by clicking on the different Liver categories on the following list\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/encyclopedia_L-Ln.htm\n\nBest wishes!

A parasitic disease.  See the attached link.

Porcine Ascarias\n\n \n\n\n\nAscaris suum, commonly known as roundworm, is the largest gastrointestinal parasite of the pig. From a respiratory disease standpoint, roundworms are important because part of their life cycle involves migration of the immature larvae through the lungs of the pig. This larval migration can result in large areas of the lung parenchymal tissue being damaged, with subsequent development of aerobic or anaerobic bacterial infections. As larvae migrate through the lungs, they destroy alveoli; they may cause a local eosinophilic infiltration that sometimes manifests in allergic reactions; and they cause a non-productive cough referred to as "thumps" or "thumping," also known as verminous pneumonia. \n\nBacterial super-infections may also occur, resulting in edema and emphysema, along with a tremendous cellular reaction. Mycoplasmal pneumonia is also not an uncommon sequel to a severe case of ascariasis.

it is caused by vitamin and calcium defieciency. What you could do to prevent it is give them some bits of clam shells or egg shells.

as in the shape of the parasite?  if i remember right, chagas disease is caused by Trypansoma cruzi.  It is the "American" form.  The "African" form is T. brucei and T. gambiense if memory serves right.  They're kinda a C-shape when they're adults with a slightly wavy tail.  Look up that species name and you should find some pics.

its a virus caused by the sting or bite of a mosquito, it causes fevers, diarrhea, or even death.  Mostly in tropical areas such as pananma they have been known to victimize people.

can be caused by any number of things if anything on or in brain MRI should find it good luck

Trichinosis is NOT caused by bacteria. It's a parasite. Look for information on Trichinella worms. HINT: Google it.

Drink a lot of water that's what causes this!!

Malaria is caused by the small protozoan, Plasmodium. Humans (or other hosts) become infected when bitten by\na female Anopheles mosquito. Sporozoite stages of the parasite are found in her saliva and are transmitted to the new\nhost’s bloodstream as she feeds upon them. From here, the parasites infect red blood cells and liver cells. The sporozoites\ndivide repeatedly by multiple fission (schizogeny) to produce thousands of merozoites. These then infect more red\nblood cells and divide again. The life cycle of Plasmodium is completed when these merozoites form male and female\ngametocytes. At night, the Anopheles mosquito may bite an infected human, ingesting these gameocytes. Inside the\nmosquito, the gametocytes fuse to form zygotes that burrow through the wall of the stomach and form cysts. Within a\ncyst, sporozoites form and eventually migrate to the salivary glands of the mosquito, ready to infect a new host.\nInfected cells eventually rupture, releasing the merozoites and their metabolic wastes into the bloodstream of the\nhost. This induces shaking, chills and a burning fever. These symptoms eventually subside but can recur when more cells break open with merozoites. If left untreated, the victim may develop enlargement of the liver and spleen, leading to\ndeath in severe cases.

straight from wikipedia:\n\nDysentery is an illness involving severe diarrhea that is often associated with blood in the feces. It is caused by ingestion of food containing bacteria, causing a disease in which inflammation of the intestines affect the body significantly. There are two major types: shigellosis, which is caused by one of several type of Shigella bacteria; and amoebic dysentery, which is caused by the amoeba Entamoeba histolytica.\n\nAmoebic dysentery is transmitted by contaminated water, and is well known as a "travellers dysentery" because of its prevalence in developing nations, or "Montezuma's Revenge" (particularly in Mexico), although it is occasionally seen in industrialized countries. Liver infection, and subsequent amoebic abscesses can occur. It can be treated with metronidazole or related azole drugs.\n\nIn adults, dysentery caused by bacteria usually subsides spontaneously. But in children, and other vulnerable groups, the condition can be treated with antibiotics. However, Shigella dysenteriae type 1 (Sd1) has, in recent years, become increasingly resistant to drug treatments. Among people who have become dehydrated as a result of the disease, the key is to replenish their fluid stocks as quickly as possible. This can be done using oral rehydration salts or intravenous fluids. Amoebic dysentery is usually treated with a combination of drugs. These include an amoebicide to kill the parasite, an antibiotic to treat any associated bacterial infection, and a drug to combat infection of the liver and other tissues. Aslo herbal methods are useful to.

Chikunguya is a vector-borne disease carried by Aedes mosquito, same vector that mainly causes dengue fever, very vastly affecting the tropical country like in Malaysia, Brazil etc... It really much resembles dengue fever in terms of symptoms. While dengue fever is caused by parasites (Plasmodium), Chikungunya is caused by chikunguya virus. symptoms include fever, joint pain, muscle pain and headache and some severe cases might have haemorrhagic.

It has many different causes. See your doctor.
