Zika Virus. Let's take a look at it.

Every virus has a life cycle because the virus itself is incomplete for reproduction. Virus only has RNA and uses the host cellular DNA to complete it's reproduction. The mosquitoes are a vector (carrier). Control of mosquitoes, which the USA is normally very good at so long as the laws still exist about maintaining the public health. Given the experience with lead in the water, who knows what goes on anymore. But, mosquitoes need to be controlled Zika virus or no Zika virus.

There is a great deal medicine knows about this virus that has been known for decades. Zika is not a mysterious virus that showed up yesterday. It has existed for awhile now.

Zika virus (click here) is an arthropod-borne Flavivirus member of the Spondweni serocomplex, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. We report here the complete coding sequence of a Zika virus strain belonging to the Asian lineage, isolated from an infected patient returning from French Polynesia, an epidemic area in 2013/2014.

The gene sequencing was published on 5 June 2014. Why is this important? Because there is a concern microcephaly is the result of this strain of virus. If the genome is known I don't see why the next step in understanding the direct link to the human genome can't be discovered.

Realizing this is a genetic issue, it may need a genetic solution, although, I have to admit when and where in the process of human embryonic development could a genetic solution be applied. That idea seems nearly impossible so the best medicine is prevention and I come back to mosquito control.

This virus has symptoms. It is also stated to resemble Dengue Fever (click here), but, more like Dengue Light. It tends to have milder symptoms. The USA has a very, very, very rare occurrence of Dengue Fever. 

The symptoms:

The symptoms of Zika virus are similar to those of dengue , however, the Zika virus is weaker and so the symptoms are milder and disappear between 4-7 days, however it is important to see a doctor to confirm if it really is with Zika

Initially , the symptoms can be mistaken for a simple flu , causing

Fever 37.8 ° C and 38.5 ° C (100.4 F and 101.3 F)
Pain in the joints , especially the hands and feet ;
Pain in the muscles of the body;
Headache , located mainly behind the eyes ;
Conjunctivitis which is an inflammation of the eye and causing eye color red , stinging leading to tearing , swelling of the eyelids and yellow secretion ;
Hypersensitivity in the eye , and increased sensitivity to light ;

Red spots on the skin, on the face and it can spread throughout the body and which can be mistaken for measles ;
Physical and mental fatigue 
Apart from these symptoms also can be seen, less often, digestive problems such as pain in the abdomen, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation and mouth sores.

I think the skin rash gives the best view of the tenacious invasion of the body. The virus is able to carry it's reproduction with the help of every cell in the body. The symptoms are extensive in all body systems. There is something about the RNA that seems friendly to the cell of human beings. Given this, it potentially causes severe malformation in a fetus, this virus should be considered highly toxic and potentially fatal to generations of children. It is a very dangerous virus simply for it's masking RNA to introduce itself into cells of the human body. There needs to be a thorough investigation of the genetic RNA of this virus and the DNA of the victims.

I am not surprised the virus is spreading wildly through the Americas. There is no prior exposure to this viral RNA. In other areas of where Zika is known there probably is exposure to other strains that allows the body to build up some degree of immunity. It is my guess this form of virus has resulted in mutation. So, if a person was exposed to less virulent strains over the past two or three generations they have some immunity and recognizes this nasty virus RNA.

When recognizing the map as accurate, there is a limitation to the virus in the way of latitudes. It seems restricted between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator regardless of east or west hemisphere.

The conjunctivitis is just as invasive as it comes. This virus has some really invasive RNA. I think this has the potential to be a very dangerous virus. The genetic codes of virus and victim have to be investigated with vigor. I don't like the invasive quality of it and with this degree of exhibited symptoms it could invade human DNA at the cellular level right into the gonad and quite possibly the actual chromosomes themselves.

The hand shaking that occurs at the cellular level to this RNA is so finely tuned the symptoms can be made to be far less in intensity. I can't help believe this is a mutation of Denge from generations of exposure to adapt to the human body as it's host.

Given the dense symptoms of the human body at the adult level it has to be considered as potentially teratogenic. Every possible precaution should be executed for the protection of children. My first thought is chemical repellent, bed nets and vigorous mosquito containment. 

It is our responsibility to protect human life and when we are not sure as to the depth of disease then assume the worst and begin vigorous elimination of what actually will work to defeat this virus.

I would seek out survivors of Zika and review their white blood cells. The closer to the exposure the better to catch immunity development.

Thank you for this opportunity to contribute to the end of this potentially generational killer.
