Enkima bulwadde obutatera kulabika nga buva ku bulwadde bwa ssennyiga w’enkima. Akawuka ka ssennyiga w’enkima kali mu kika kya orthopoxvirus ekya poxviridae. Orthopoxvirus era mulimu akawuka ka ssennyiga omukambwe (akaleeta obulwadde bwa ssennyiga), akawuka ka cowpox (akakozesebwa okugema obulwadde bwa ssennyiga omukambwe) n’akawuka ka cowpox.
Enkima yasooka kuzuulibwa mu 1958, endwadde bbiri eziringa ekifuba bwe zaabalukawo mu nkimye ezaalundibwa okunoonyereza, bwe zityo ne zituumibwa 'enkima'. Mu 1970, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) yawandiika omuntu eyasooka okukwatibwa enkima mu kiseera ky’okumalawo n’amaanyi obulwadde bwa ssennyiga omukambwe. Okuva olwo, obulwadde bw’enkima bubadde bumanyiddwa mu bungi bw’abantu mu mawanga amalala agawerako mu masekkati n’amaserengeta ga Afrika: Cameroon, Central African Republic, C ô te d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Liberia, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo ne Sierra Leone. Obulwadde obusinga bubeera mu Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Abalwadde ba ssennyiga w’enkima mu bantu babeera bweru wa Afrika era nga beekuusa ku ntambula z’ensi yonna oba ebisolo ebiyingizibwa mu ggwanga, omuli abakwatibwa mu Amerika, Yisirayiri, Singapore ne Bungereza.
Kiva wa? enkima?
Nedda !
'Erinnya mu butuufu liri ku linnya likyamu katono,' Rimoin bwe yagambye. Mpozzi kyandibadde kiyitibwa 'rodent pox'.
Ekitongole kya Amerika ekivunaanyizibwa ku kulwanyisa endwadde kyategeezezza ku mukutu gwakyo nti erinnya 'monkeypox' liva ku bulwadde buno obwasooka okuwandiikibwa mu 1958, bwe waaliwo okubutuka emirundi ebiri mu bungi bw'enkima ezaakuumibwa okunoonyereza.
Naye enkima si ze zisinga okusitula. Mu kifo ky’ekyo, akawuka kano kayinza okusigala mu ssekkokko, kangaroo, dormouses oba ebiwuka ebirala.
Ekifo eky’obutonde ekikwata obulwadde bwa ssennyiga w’enkima n’okutuusa kati tekimanyiddwa. Wabula ebiwuka bya Afirika n’ebiwuka ebiyitibwa primates ebitali bantu (nga enkima) biyinza okutambuza akawuka ne bikwata abantu.
Okwawukanako ne covid-19, ekwata ennyo, obulwadde bw’enkima ebiseera ebisinga si bwangu kusaasaana mu bantu.
Abantu bwe bakwatagana ennyo, obulwadde bw’enkima busaasaana nga buyita mu matondo amanene ag’okussa; Okukwatagana obutereevu n’ebiwundu by’olususu oba amazzi g’omubiri; Oba mu ngeri etali butereevu nga bayita mu ngoye oba ebitanda ebirimu obucaafu.
Abantu abasinga abakwatibwa obulwadde bwa monkeypox balina obubonero obutono obulinga ssennyiga, gamba nga... omusujja n’okulumwa omugongo, wamu n’ebizimba ebibulawo mu wiiki bbiri oba nnya.
Okusinziira ku kitongole ky’ebyobulamu mu nsi yonna, ekitundu ky’abantu abafa obulwadde bw’enkima kiri wakati wa 1% ne 10% ..
Enkola ez'enjawulo zisobola okukolebwa okutangira okukwatibwa akawuka ka monkeypox :
1. Weewale okukwatagana n’ebisolo ebiyinza okutambuza akawuka kano (nga mw’otwalidde n’ebisolo ebirwadde oba ebisangibwa nga bifudde mu bitundu by’enkima).
2. Weewale okukwatagana n’ebintu byonna ebikwatagana n’ebisolo ebirwadde, gamba ng’ebitanda.
3. Okwawula abalwadde abalina akawuka ku balala abayinza okuba mu bulabe bw’okukwatibwa.
4. Kuuma obuyonjo mu ngalo obulungi oluvannyuma lw’okukwatagana n’ebisolo oba abantu abalina obulwadde buno. Okugeza, naaba mu ngalo ne ssabbuuni n’amazzi oba kozesa eddagala erirongoosa mu ngalo eririmu omwenge.
5. Kozesa ebyuma eby’okwekuuma ng’olabirira abalwadde.
Eddagala eritta obuwuka erya bulijjo mu maka liyinza okutta akawuka ka ssennyiga w’enkima.
Suubira nti ofaayo mu kino
