zika virus spread sexually

Tremendous -- if having trick babies wasn't a big enough concern, now we have to be concerned with shrunken headed trick babies. Can not catch a break.

Task and PM - I really think you gentlemen should be more politically correct and sensitive to those bitten by those mosquitoes. Remember to wrap those rascals as disabled trick babies can even be more expensive to support. mg:

It may be time to request travelling itineraries from the SP community as far as our screening process is concerned!

It never dawned on me what a trick baby was until you just said it above. Now I know where the band's name came from.

I heard from Michael Weiner a.k.a Michael Savage Show , ZIKA is in the Sperm of infected men. Be careful who sperm U let in your mouth and vagina

Anyone going to upcoming Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro?.....

My point of view is that Upstate NY is a notorious area for in which the majority of hobbyists insist on BBBJ.

Additionally, many people who hobby travel.

I think it's not so much about getting knocked up that makes this very important information.

dont ...worry yer plastic man would never ...ever want yer mouth anywhere near the mighty turdcutter

1) It is not mosquito season. It's just too cold.
2) Species of mosquitoes known to carry the virus are not native to Northern USA.
3) Except for 1 or 2 people who died of the Zika virus side effects, not the virus it self, there is no known risk to developed humans, at this point.
4) Once infected, though, humans will develop anti bodies to prevent future infections.
5) Only known risk, at this point, is to developing fetuses.

http://www.cdc.gov/zika/transmission/
"Through mosquito bites

Zika virus is transmitted to people primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species

mosquito (A. aegypti and A. albopictus)."



http://www.cdc.gov/zika/hc-providers...nsmission.html
"There is evidence that the Zika virus can be sexually transmitted from a man to his sex

partners. Until we know more, the man might consider abstaining from sex or using condoms

the right way every time for vaginal, anal, and oral sex (fellatio or mouth-to-penis). "



http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/mm6505e1.htm
"Recent evidence suggests a possible association between maternal Zika virus infection and

adverse fetal outcomes, such as congenital microcephaly (4,5), as well as a possible

association with Guillain-Barré syndrome. Currently, no vaccine or medication exists to

prevent or treat Zika virus infection. "



http://www.cdc.gov/zika/transmission/
"Through infected blood or sexual contact
Spread of the virus through blood transfusion and sexual contact have been reported."

"Rarely, from mother to child
A mother already infected with Zika virus near the time of delivery can pass on the virus

to her newborn around the time of birth, but this is rare."

"The WHO says the possible link between serious birth defects and the Zika virus is a

global health emergency. Renee Montagne talks to Laura Harrington, an entomologist at

Cornell University.

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

The World Health Organization has deemed the possible link between serious birth defects

and the Zika virus as an international health emergency. As we all know now, the virus is

spread by mosquitoes. Laura Harrington is an entomologist at Cornell University. She's an

expert on mosquitoes and expects to see cases from people being bitten by those carrying

the Zika virus right here in the U.S.

LAURA HARRINGTON: Well, I think this spring as the mosquito populations start to increase,

we should be especially cautious about locations where we've had locally-transmitted Dengue

virus. The same mosquito species that transmits Zika also transmits Dengue. It's confined

primarily to Florida, South Florida, along the Gulf states and Southern Texas with a few

small populations in Arizona and California.

MONTAGNE: Does that really mean that that's where it will stay, this particular mosquito

and this particular disease?

HARRINGTON: Not necessarily. Not a lot of attention has been paid to the Asian tiger

mosquito, which is another species which we believe can also transmit Zika virus. It has a

much broader range. It's found all the way north into coastal areas of Connecticut, Long

Island and the New York metro area."

"CHIKV, DENV, YFV, and ZIKV are maintained in enzootic transmission cycles in forested

areas of Africa, Asia, or South America. YFV is only endemic in Africa and South America.

In urban and suburban areas however, these arboviruses are transmitted between people by

Aedes mosquitoes in the subgenus Stegomyia especially Ae. aegypti (the main vector

worldwide) and potentially, Ae. albopictus."

"As of February 10, 2016

As an arboviral disease, Zika virus is nationally notifiable.
This update from the CDC Arboviral Disease Branch includes provisional data reported to

ArboNET for January 1, 2015 – February 10, 2016.

US States

Travel-associated Zika virus disease cases reported: 52
Locally acquired vector-borne cases reported: 0

US Territories

Fact sheet

"Overview

In the United States, mosquitoes transmit a variety of arboviruses (arthropod-borne

viruses). This document is limited to arboviruses transmitted by Ae. aegypti and Ae.

albopictus, the principal vectors of dengue (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, DENV-4), chikungunya

(CHIKV), yellow fever (YFV), and Zika (ZIKV) viruses. Of the above seven arboviruses, DENV,

YFV and CHIKV have caused...

In 2015, ZIKV outbreaks have, for the first time, been reported in the Western Hemisphere,

with local transmission occurring in Central and South America, the Caribbean and Mexico.

It is expected that ZIKV transmission will increase throughout the region increasing the

incidence of infection in returning travelers and the possibility of local transmission in

the USA."

"The CDC is aware of a report that Brazilian scientists have found the virus in the saliva

and urine of infected people, Frieden said, but more information is needed."



http://www.virology.ws/2016/01/28/zika-virus/

"Control
There are currently no antiviral drugs or vaccines that can be used to treat or prevent

infection with Zika virus. We do have a safe and effective vaccine against another

flavivirus, yellow fever virus. Substituting the gene encoding the yellow fever E

glycoprotein with that from Zika virus might be a good approach to quickly making a Zika

vaccine. However testing of such a vaccine candidate might require several years.

Mosquito control is the only option for restricting Zika virus infection. Measures such as

wearing clothes that cover much of the body, sleeping under a bed net, and making sure that

breeding sites for mosquitoes (standing water in pots and used tires) are eliminated are

examples. Reducing mosquito populations with insecticides may also help to reduce the risk

of infection."

I don't want to get Zika or its illness or complications from it. I am extremely susceptible to pneumonia and upper respiratory infections since a horrible bout of pneumonia in 2011 which could become a complication after taking ill with Zika.

How about other at risk populations? Older people, newborns http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/304550.php , others with low tolerance to possible complications?

Additionally, I see several posts in upstate regarding pregnant providers. I am sure there are people (seemingly including you) who seem not to share my concerns. It is part of my job to be diligent in continuing education.

"It is part of my job to be dilligent in continuing education. and spelling. and sentence structure, and...."

Hope this helps those interested in the topic.

Always,
