There were 53 reported cases of Zika virus in South Carolina as of November 9, 2016, all related to travel. A single case of sexual transmission was reported. Pharmacists can play a key role in educating the public about Zika virus prevention and recommending effective insect repellents. The ideal timeline for FDA approval of an accelerated Zika virus vaccine is December 2017. A clinical trial is currently studying the safety and effectiveness of a Zika virus DNA vaccine.

What does-the-public-know-and-think-about-zika
The document summarizes polling data from the Kaiser Family Foundation regarding American public views and knowledge about the Zika virus. Some key findings include:
- A majority of Americans have heard of Zika and are aware it can be transmitted by mosquitoes, but fewer know it can be sexually transmitted.
- Most Americans are aware of the link between Zika and birth defects, but few know of the link to adult paralysis.
- Over half of Americans think the US government is doing enough to protect against Zika, while one in five think more should be done.
- Combating diseases like Zika is seen as a top global health priority by Americans.

COPD Journal Club
This study investigated whether treatment with the proton pump inhibitor lansoprazole could reduce the frequency of common colds and exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study found that patients taking lansoprazole had significantly fewer COPD exacerbations and a lower risk of frequent common colds compared to the control group. The results suggest that lansoprazole may help reduce airway inflammation and inhibit rhinovirus infection in COPD patients. However, the study was limited by a small sample size, lack of placebo control, and population that was almost entirely male and of Japanese ethnicity.

Zikka virus
Zika virus is an emerging mosquito-borne virus that is causing an alarming outbreak. It is transmitted primarily through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. The current outbreak in Brazil is alarming because it is linked to a surge in microcephaly cases and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Pregnant women are advised to avoid travel to affected areas due to the risk of maternal-fetal transmission and birth defects. Public health officials recommend mosquito bite prevention and testing of pregnant women with a history of travel to affected regions.

Zika virus is an emerging mosquito-borne virus that is causing an alarming outbreak. It is transmitted primarily through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. The current outbreak in Brazil is alarming because it is linked to a surge in microcephaly cases in newborns. Pregnant women are advised to avoid travel to affected areas due to the risk of maternal-fetal transmission and potential birth defects. Public health officials are working to understand and contain the outbreak.
Zika and Dengue: Creating Partnerships to Interrupt Transmission (Honein)
Zika, a mosquito-borne virus, can be passed from a pregnant
woman to her fetus, potentially causing microcephaly and
other devastating defects. Environmental factors may
contribute to the spread of the viruses that cause Zika,
dengue, and other tropical diseases, as a changing climate
may allow their mosquito carriers to flourish. Though
no vaccines exist for Zika or dengue, Rotary clubs can
implement service projects to provide education, clean up
mosquito habitats, promote prevention, and implement
an exciting new method to interrupt mosquitoes’ ability to
transmit these viruses.
Zika virus
Zika virus is spread by daytime-active Aedes mosquitoes and often causes mild or no symptoms. It was isolated in Uganda in 1947 and has recently spread to areas in the Americas. The virus is associated with microcephaly in fetuses when the mother is infected during pregnancy and Guillain-Barré syndrome in adults. While medications and vaccines are currently unavailable, health organizations recommend precautions for pregnant women such as postponing travel to affected areas.
The Zika Virus and Microcephaly
The Zika virus was discovered in Africa in 1947 and can cause mild illness, but its emergence in the Americas has coincided with a marked increase in microcephaly. Microcephaly is a birth defect where the baby's head is much smaller than expected and is associated with problems in brain development. Studies of the Zika outbreak in French Polynesia from 2013-2014 found that the risk of microcephaly was about 1% for mothers infected during the first trimester of pregnancy. While this risk appears low, a very high percentage of people were infected during Zika outbreaks, so it remains an important public health issue despite the relatively low risk for any individual fetus.

The current outbreak of Zika virus in Jaipur, India has rekindled national and international interest in this mosquito-borne illness. Zika virus causes a mild fever but can also result in serious neurological complications like Guillain-Barré syndrome and microcephaly in infants born to infected mothers. While the illness is usually self-limiting, the recent outbreak in Jaipur of 29 reported cases in one month requires a task force to prevent further spread.
Zika virus
Zika virus was first isolated in 1947 in Uganda. It spread from Africa to Asia between 1951-1981 and caused its first outbreak outside of Africa and Asia on Yap Island in 2007. In 2015, Zika virus emerged in Brazil and has since spread across South and Central America. The main reasons for the outbreak in the Americas include lack of prior exposure or immunity, presence of the Aedes mosquito vector, and living conditions conducive to mosquito breeding. Zika virus is alarming due to its association with microcephaly in babies born to infected mothers and the lack of vaccines or treatments.

Zika Virus Disease, Facts & Fictions
Zika virus is spread primarily through the bites of infected Aedes species mosquitoes. While most people infected with Zika virus do not develop symptoms, it can cause mild fever and rash. The main concern is that Zika infection during pregnancy can cause microcephaly and other severe brain defects in babies. There is no vaccine currently available to prevent Zika virus infection.

Zika virus disease
The document provides information on the Zika virus, including its history, epidemiology, transmission, signs and symptoms, complications, diagnosis, and current situation. It discusses how the virus was first identified in 1947 in Uganda in monkeys and humans in 1952. It outlines its spread to Africa, Asia, the Pacific islands, and the Americas. It also summarizes Brazil reporting over 500,000 suspected Zika cases and the observed increase in Guillain-Barré syndrome and microcephaly linked to the outbreak.
Zika virus
Zika virus can persist in the male reproductive system and negatively impact fertility. A recent study in mice found that Zika virus infected the testes, sperm, and epididymis up to 21 days after infection. This led to testicular damage, lower sperm counts, decreased testosterone production, and impaired fertility as female mice mated with infected males had lower rates of pregnancy. The study suggests Zika virus prefers cells involved in sperm formation and disrupts the function of Sertoli cells, leading to germ cell death and destruction of seminiferous tubules, indicating Zika infection has the potential to reduce male fertility in humans.
Zika virus infection emerging public health concern

Zika 2016
Zika virus was first discovered in 1947 in Uganda. It is transmitted primarily via mosquito bites but can also be transmitted sexually or from mother to fetus. While most infections cause only mild symptoms, infection during pregnancy can lead to microcephaly and other birth defects. There is currently no vaccine or treatment, but researchers are developing DNA vaccines which may be available in 3-5 years. Two vaccine candidates are currently in phase 1 clinical trials.
Zika virus and birth defects
This document reviews the evidence for a causal relationship between prenatal Zika virus infection and microcephaly and other brain anomalies in fetuses and infants. The authors evaluate available data using Shepard's criteria for assessing potential teratogens. They conclude that a causal relationship exists based on evidence of Zika virus infection during critical prenatal periods consistent with observed defects, delineation of a specific phenotype involving microcephaly and brain anomalies in infants with presumed congenital Zika virus infection, and biological plausibility from identification of Zika virus in brain tissue of affected fetuses and infants. However, more epidemiologic data are still needed to fully satisfy Shepard's criteria. Addressing outstanding questions will improve understanding and prevention of adverse outcomes from

Abstract
The Zika virus arrived within the United States, via mosquitoes that unfold it in 2 areas in Miami-Dade County, FL, and therefore the federal agency advising pregnant girls to avoid them.
The virus causes birth defects in babies born to some infected pregnant girls, together with microcephalus, wherever babies are born with underdeveloped heads and brain injury. Zika has additionally been coupled to Landry's paralysis, a condition within which the system attacks the nerves. It’s chiefly unfold through mosquitoes, though some cases of sexual transmission are according to The Miami neighborhood of Wynwood (2009), became the primary within the U.S. wherever Zika was spreading domestically. Though a federal agency travel consulted for that space has been raised, pregnant girls are still urged to avoid a four.5-square-mile space of Miami Beach and another space of a few area unit in Miami-Dade County.
Pregnant girls and their partners UN agency sleep in the areas or should travel them ought to avoid dipteran bites. The federal agency has additionally issued travel warnings for pregnant girls in countries wherever the wellness is spreading.
The Zika virus, initial known in Republic of Uganda in 1947, is transmitted by genus Aides mosquitoes, an equivalent form of dipteran that carries infectious disease, black vomit, and chikungunya virus. A dipteran bites associate infected person and so passes those viruses to people it bites. Outbreaks didn't occur outside of continent till 2007, once it unfold to the Pacific Ocean. Zika has “never been thought of as a severe communicable disease yet,” says Amesh Adalja, MD, a spokesperson for the Infectious Diseases Society of America (2011).
The federal agency has confirmed Zika will unfold through sex, typically once someone traveled to a section wherever Zika has broken out, got the virus, and gave the virus to a sex partner UN agency didn't travel. Infected girls and men will each pass the virus to sex partners -- even though they haven’t shown symptoms of infection, the federal agency says (Duffy et al., 2009). Additionally, infected pregnant girls will pass the virus on to their vertebrate.
Research paper Zika
Some studies have additionally shown the virus is found in blood, semen, urine, and spit of infected individuals, still as in fluids within the eye. In Utah, someone got the virus while not traveling or having sexual contact. The person was a relative associated caregiver of a senior Zika patient UN agency died in late Gregorian calendar month -- the primary Zika-linked death within the U.S. The deceased man had traveled to a section wherever Zika is spreading, and science laboratory tests showed high amounts of the virus in his blood -- quite a hundred times on top of that seen in alternative samples of infected individuals, the federal agency says (Duffy et al., 2009). He additionally had associate underlying medical condition that has not been disclosed. Health officers believe .
