through the Americas. It is carried by the stealth virus, most often borne on the wings of a ubiquitous predator, is spreading across the Americas. The Zika virus is carried by the mosquito from Aedes family. Zika virus was first discovered in Uganda in 1947 in rhesus monkey.…

the human waste or from rotting coffee beans (WPVI-TV. “Fever 1793.”). Neither of these theories are actually correct. In fact, the disease originates from mosquito bites.”The most dangerous illnesses associated with the Aedes are dengue fever and yellow fever” (“Dangers of the Aedes Mosquito.”). Those are some examples of theories of what causes the Yellow Fever and what actually causes the Yellow…

country, bringing each nation to its knees with its detrimental symptoms. In 1947, the Zika virus was first discovered in a rhesus monkey that was found in the Zika Forest, Uganda. Incidentally, it was not until 1948 when individuals realized the Aedes africanus (mosquito) also possessed the Zika virus.…

In 1947, scientists discovered the Zika virus while collecting samples from monkeys in Uganda’s Zika Forest to track yellow fever. The following year, the virus was detected again in the Zika Forest; however, this time the virus was present in Aedes species mosquitoes. It wasn’t until 1952 that the first human cases were reported in the United Republic of Tanzania, highlighting how adaptable and transmittable the virus became. Since the viruses’ initial discovery, there have been spontaneous…

survive in hot or warm areas. America, South America, Africa, and a lot other areas with Zika are all hot/warm. This is the problem we are trying to solve, but of course we can’t change the temperature of the area. So we could further “investigate” Aedes Aegypti to see what else their weaknesses are and how we can prevent them or kill them off. It is also shown that the Zika Virus survives the most in dirtier areas of the world. Also based on maps, It looks like the Zika Virus is most common in…

members of the FLAVIVIRIDAE family are under one umbrella known as arboviruses due to they are transmitted to host cells by medial vectors like arthropods. Humen are infected by the bite of various species of female AEDES mosquitoes, and the common species spread in the US are Aedes Aegpti, Aedes albopictus. Because of the loss a pollen against this virus and lack the biology researches so it leads up to continue propagation on new geographic…

virus. For instance cover all your skin, use bug spray and wear outdoor clothing, make sure where you are sleeping is cool and mosquitoes can’t get in. There is only two known types of known mosquitoes that can carry Zika virus.The Aedes Agypti, and the Aedes Alboplctus. Luckily there has been no known cases that originated in the united states. But that doesn't mean we haven’t had any outbreaks. Just take last year for instance we had a major outbreak on our…

South America by mosquitoes and infected people has led to the maiming of newborn babies throughout the world, but you can help prevent this while protecting yourself from its harm. The primary sources of transmission of the virus is through the Aedes africanus mosquitoes and humans. A local transmission cycle is formed between humans and mosquitoes. When a human is infected by mosquitoes, other mosquitoes carry the virus when they bite the infected human. As stated in Document E, Zika is…

In 2015, a widespread pandemic of the Zika virus (ZIKV) was reported in South and Central America and the Caribbean’s as well. The principal concern associated with this viral infection is the increased incidences of microcephaly in fetuses born to mothers infected with ZIKV. As a result, World Health Organization has declared it a pandemic that is affecting many lives. This paper will examine what the virus is in detail, by looking at its signs and symptoms, and second it will look at its…

Due to the potential link between Zika infections and birth defects, the Allegan County Health Department urges pregnant women to reconsider travel to outbreak areas. The Zika virus is primarily spread by the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. This species of mosquito is an aggressive day biter. They can also bite at night. In addition, the virus can be spread sexually from infected men. Angelique Joynes, MPH, RN, Health Officer cautions that, “Anyone who is pregnant or planning to…
