RIO & the ZIKA Virus

and ALL that shows is that you have potentially a VERY LARGE pool of potential human vectors...which THEN...given the relatively low level of the Aedes aegypti spp in some of those areas lends even more credence to the likelyhood of another spp being the mosquito vector......(either that or they have a population of whores, both male and female)

Here you've ranted about my "snarky/sarcastic wit and how your just about done with it" = pot & kettle {you are exactly what you abhor}

Good Grief, since that report/article was just published to day; for those that need to be hand held about this fast paced data and Zika virus spreading so rapidly ---

It appears that 'MY WORRY' and greatest concerns have not gone unfounded and had you actually read the entire article or just the finite things that I bold font for expedient purposes; you'd have noted that there's a rather perplexing case in Utah.

are you REALLY THAT socially inept?? it goes like this....either the virus is mosquito borne OR sexually transmitted if its mossies then clearly more than one species is inviolved...if its sexual and the article about the number of "unknown" cases is right then they are at it like rabbits. and there is a difference...THAT comment was mere "humerous commentary" and quite acceptable....what YOU DO is direct and insulting ON A PERSONAL LEVEL the two are neither the same nor comparable...as is evidenced by how out of shape you get when handed a dose of your own.....

I cant beleive I'm having to explain THAT to a supposed "adult"

The articles stated specifically that the people concerned had not travelled or been in sexual contact with anyone that had travelled.   Now, would you like to post the scientific study that says mosquitoes can get Zika from people?



Quite honestly your harrassment of 4Ever is getting beyond a joke and should not be tolerated, especially from a mod.

This is the level of stupidity we are facing...!!!

Tommy Monk wrote:Hold on... the article says he was looking after his father who had zika and that the father had been infected abroad...


So what would be so strange about a mossie biting his father and then biting the son later on and passing it to him...?

Despite my attempts to keep it on track - despite having not one but two mods trash it for me {thank you Eddie & thank you ole FOUL one} I'll leave this pile of putrid bile with what the two joy boys have twisted it into 
ENJOY YOURSELVES ...just so much stupid I can deal with one one topic.

Q:What is the study of insects called?

A: Quick Answer
The study of insects is called entomology. Entomology is the study of insects and the relationship that they have with the environment, humans and other organisms. The research done by entomologists contributes greatly to scientific fields, such as forensics, molecular science, biology, agriculture, chemistry and animal and human health. https://www.reference.com/pets-animals/study-insects-called-188c77e973a8e166

Types of Mosquitoes
 http://animals.howstuffworks.com/insects/mosquito1.htm
**edited for updated figures There are approximately 3,500 species of mosquitoes grouped into 41 genera. Human malaria is transmitted only by females of the genus Anopheles. Of the approximately 430 Anopheles species, only 30-40 transmit malaria (i.e., are "vectors") in nature.

• Aedes - These are sometimes called "floodwater" mosquitoes because flooding is important for their eggs to hatch. Aedes mosquitoes have abdomens with pointed tips. They include such species as the yellow-fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) and the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus). They are strong fliers, capable of travelling great distances (up to 75 miles/121 km) from their breeding sites. They persistently bite mammals (especially humans), mainly at dawn and in the early evening. Their bites are painful. ZIKA virus breeders
  
• Anopheles - These tend to breed in bodies of permanent fresh water. Anopheles mosquitoes also have abdomens with pointed tips. They include several species, such as the common malaria mosquito (Anopheles quadrimaculatus), that can spread malaria to humans.
  
• Culex - These tend to breed in quiet, standing water. Culex mosquitoes have abdomens with blunt tips. They include several species such as the northern house mosquito (Culex pipiens). They are weak fliers and tend to live for only a few weeks during the summer months. They persistently bite (preferring birds over humans) and attack at dawn or after dusk. Their bite is painful.
  

Some mosquitoes, such as the cattail mosquito (Coquilettidia perturbans), are becoming more prevalent pests as humans invade their habitats.

Anopheles Mosquitoes
Malaria is transmitted among humans by female mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. Female mosquitoes take blood meals to carry out egg production, and such blood meals are the link between the human and the mosquito hosts in the parasite life cycle. The successful development of the malaria parasite in the mosquito (from the "gametocyte" stage to the "sporozoite" stage) depends on several factors. The most important is ambient temperature and humidity (higher temperatures accelerate the parasite growth in the mosquito) and whether the Anopheles survives long enough to allow the parasite to complete its cycle in the mosquito host ("sporogonic" or "extrinsic" cycle, duration 10 to 18 days). Differently from the human host, the mosquito host does not suffer noticeably from the presence of the parasites.

General Information

There are approximately 3,500 species of mosquitoes grouped into 41 genera. Human malaria is transmitted only by females of the genus Anopheles. Of the approximately 430 Anopheles species, only 30-40 transmit malaria (i.e., are "vectors") in nature.

Geographic Distribution

Anophelines are found worldwide except Antarctica. Malaria is transmitted by different Anopheles species, depending on the region and the environment.
Anophelines that can transmit malaria are found not only in malaria-endemic areas, but also in areas where malaria has been eliminated. The latter areas are thus constantly at risk of re-introduction of the disease.

The number of patients in the United States who are infected with Zika is growing. 
The 14 locally transmitted Zika cases documented in Miami add to the increasing number of cases reported in the United States this year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are 1658 total cases of Zika in the United States as of July 27, 2016, of which 15 were sexually transmitted. While the first infections reported in the United States were contracted after travel to affected regions, the recent cases in Miami were transmitted locally via mosquito bites.
GETTING TESTED
The CDC recommends the use of real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) testing for diagnosis, which can detect Zika RNA in blood and urine samples for up to 2 weeks after symptom onset. Although a positive rRT-PCR result indicates infection, a negative result does not rule out Zika, so other antibody tests, such as immunoglobulin M, can be used for confirmation.
 The CDC recommends that all pregnant women be tested for infection at each prenatal care visit if they live in an active transmission area or if their sexual partner has traveled to one. Here is guidance for collecting and submitting the samples.
 It can take weeks or longer to get testing results back, but a newly approved Quest Diagnostics version of the Zika test is expected to broaden testing capacity and increase speed of results.  http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/867109

Now that's FUCKED UP!

so ...what do you suggest
YOU are large on mouth but short on substance as ever
IF the primary vector isnt in an area and YET the virus is spreading ....
whats the answer???
WELL??????
just answer that one simple question........

Amusing, how you insult and then expect a rational answer and then continue with the 'primary vector' assumptions that have been answered multiple times in all of the posts - all of the data from Florida - all of the articles from the CDC ...and it's somehow my fault that you're unable to assimilate the information

Now that's FUCKED UP!
