Mosquito season begins in April. Researchers said yesterday they have found a way to fashion a cheap mosquito trap out of old tyres that can collect thousands of eggs that may carry the Zika virus.
One of its leading facts may sound pretty benign: Zika is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, mainly the Aedes aegypti species in tropical countries like this one. “The objective of this order is to expand access to more effective methods as we continue on alert Zika virus”, she explained. Since 1999, when West Nile Virus hit the US, almost 42,000 cases of the disease have been reported. There are tests but they’re not ideal, and they’re being used primarily with pregnant women.
They urged New Yorkers to clear up any standing water on their property and make sure screens in their windows are intact. “We don’t see it very often, and I’m fearful we’re going to see it a whole lot more”, said Dr. Gregory A. Miller, Beaufort Memorial Hospital, OBGYN.

The Florida Department of Health wouldn’t say whether the cases are related.
Two weeks later, there were reports a mother and daughter of Gulf View, La Romaine, has also contracted the virus. With many unborn children at risk, medical researchers and scientists are working in fear of the growing number of microcephaly cases.
The Salt Lake County Health Department announced Friday that a county resident who was infected with Zika virus has given birth to a healthy baby. “If we can all work together, we can really keep this to a minimum”, said Montgomery County Commissioner Valerie Arkoosh. None of the cases were transmitted in the United States by mosquito bites, according to the CDC.
Capurro and other researchers in Brazil are also working hard to catch and test a mosquito that’s infected with the virus.
