Women in Zika countries should breastfeed their babies

Chan’s comments came at the end of a two-day visit to Brazil during which she met with President Dilma Rousseff and senior Cabinet ministers to discuss the government’s strategy for handling the Zika outbreak. Another type of mosquito found in OH may potentially transmit Zika virus, although it has not yet been implicated in the transmission of human cases.

“Symptoms are fever, rash, conjunctivitis, which is an infection of the eye, and joint aches and pain”, Vail said.

However, the mosquito that carries the Zika virus, Aedes aegypti, was found breeding around his hotel in Rockhampton, 640 kms (400 miles) north of the state capital of Brisbane.

Among the 14 new cases, two Zika diagnoses are in women who had sexual contact with men who had recently traveled to infected areas.

However, it has been linked to a birth defect called microcephaly when contracted by women who are pregnant.

COLUMBUS — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC) announced on Tuesday that it is investigating 14 new reports of possible sexual transmission of Zika virus in the USA, including several involving pregnant women.

The Florida Health Department recommends that women who are pregnant or are thinking about becoming pregnant postpone travel to Zika affected areas.

Zika has been declared a global emergency because of its possible links to a spike in babies born with abnormally small heads in Brazil. At first it was test anyone that returns from an affected country that has the symptoms, two or more of the symptoms.

“If you have a male partner who lives in or has travelled to an area where Zika transmission is ongoing, either abstain from sex or use condoms consistently and correctly for the duration of your pregnancy”, it added.

There is no vaccine or treatment for Zika. That’s to prevent mosquitoes from biting them and possibly spreading Zika to others in the U.S. “Health care providers should report suspected cases of Zika virus disease to their local, state, or territorial health departments to arrange testing and so that action can be taken to reduce the risk for local Zika virus transmission”.
