Zika Virus
The author of this report has been asked to summarize and recite the main points of two scholarly offerings that both relate to the Zika virus. One of those is a presentation that was given by Ms. Carter and the other is a scholarly article that pertains to the same. Items that will be covered include where the virus originated from, the type of mosquitos that carry the virus, the number of cases that have been seen in the United States and a few other things. Of course, there will be a good amount of overlap between the presentation's facts and figures and what is seen from the scholarly article. While there is still a lot that is not known about the Zika virus, where it came from and what it can do, what is already known to this point is quite intriguing and scary.
Analysis
As noted in the introduction, one of the main sources of information for this article is the presentation that was given by Ms. Carter. The Zika Virus seemingly has originated from the countries of Uganda, Brazil and parts of Southeast Asia. There are two types of mosquitos that are seemingly the most common carriers of the virus, those being...
There have been approximately 220 cases in the United States. Those cases have appeared in Florida, Texas and Georgia, for the most part. There are a number of symptoms that are common when it comes to Zika and they include fatigue, fever, perspiration, rashes and nausea or vomiting. However, some people are asymptomatic and show no outward or obvious symptoms that they are sick. Risk of birth defects that are extremely severe in nature are also common when it comes to the Zika virus.
When it comes to the scholarly journal article sort of research and materials on the subject of Zika, there is even more information to perceive and take in. Indeed, a 2015 academic journal article written by some Frenchman reveal that Zika has actually been around for quite some time. Indeed, it has been around for at least a decade per some limited exposure that was known about in Africa and Asia. Further, the virus is known to be related and similar to other insidious virsus such as dengue fever, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and West Nile virus. The precursors and root viruses in question actually date back to…

New York and the Zika Virus Description and Controlling Efforts The communicable disease researched within this document is the Zika virus. This is a virus which is primarily transmitted to humans from mosquitoes. The mosquito which is known to carry this virus is the Aedes Eegypti mosquito which is natively found in South America and Central America (New York State, 2016). An initial Zika outbreak in the U.S. took place in the
The Zika virus has come to the United States. A virus from the Flaviviridae, is spread via the A. albopictus or A. aegypti mosquitoes that feed and transmit the virus to humans during feeding. Related to the West Nile, yellow fever, and dengue viruses, it spread eastward and eventually made its way to the Americas where it created the 2015-16 Zika virus epidemic. While the virus itself does little to
Writing a paper about a complex issue such as the Zika virus can be a challenging enterprise, but the model essay presented below provides some useful guidance concerning how to get started, including developing an appropriate thesis, writing an outline and locating relevant content from reliable and legitimate sources. Writing an abstract, introduction and conclusion becomes easier once the preliminary research for the body of the essay is completed. Topics: The Effects
Abstract Zika, that was identified accidentally in Uganda in 1947 in the midst of insect and primate monitoring, had so far stayed as a hidden virus limited to a slim equatorial belt functioning along Africa and running into Parts of Asia. Not much is known with regards to ZIKV’s release in the US. Phylogenetic studies suggest that the virus originated with the French Polynesian ZIKV force came into Brazil around May
Current Issues with Communicable Diseases Part 1 Whooping Cough is a disease that doctors may no longer recognize because it has become so rare. Alarms went off in California in the autumn of 2011 when nine infants died from the disease. There have been outbreaks of other preventable diseases such as a 2013 mumps outbreak in Monmouth County New Jersey, and a 2015 measles outbreak at Disneyland in California. In 275
Epidemiology and What I Learned This epidemiology course has been very helpful for me in terms of boosting my knowledge of incidence, distribution and control of diseases as well as other variables that pertain to health issues. It has deepened my understanding of and appreciation for the time, energy, commitment and work that goes into researching the history of diseases, such as Zika, in order to better understand how it originated
