A C-130 Hercules flies an aerial spray mission at an altitude of 350 feet at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. May 5, 2016. Spraying less than one ounce of the chemical per acre effectively limits the mosquito population near the base. The mission of the 910th at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, is to maintain the Department of Defense's only large area fixed-wing aerial spray capability to control disease-carrying insects, pest insects, undesirable vegetation and to disperse oil spills in large bodies of water.

The Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika virus is primarily transmitted from human to mosquito to human. A person infected by the virus is bitten by a mosquito. The mosquito becomes infected with the virus through the blood it drinks. When the infected mosquito bites another human, the virus goes from the mosquito’s saliva into the new person’s blood, infecting them.

The mission of the Insect Vector Control Division is to provide a service for the protection of people's health from vector borne diseases through the application of safe, effective and economical integration of all appropriate and sustainable vector control measures. There are several diseases that are transmitted by insects or other organisms in Trinidad and Tobago that are potentially hazardous to the health of its citizens. The Insect Vector Control Division of the Ministry of Health monitors and controls these insect and organism vectors. The Division also works in areas that have been flooded to prevent outbreaks of disease. With the recent Chikungunya and Zika outbreaks, the Division has stepped up its surveillance processes and efforts.

Zika virus particles (red) shown in African green monkey kidney cells.
Using blood samples from an individual previously infected with Zika virus, scientists funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, have developed an antibody-based Zika virus therapeutic that protected monkeys from infection. Because monoclonal antibodies are generally safe, they believe that this antibody cocktail might be appropriate for uninfected pregnant women; because the antibodies will likely cross the placenta, the researchers hope that administration during pregnancy may protect both the pregnant woman and the fetus from Zika virus. The investigators are hoping to test this concept by pursuing studies in people.

What is Zika Virus ?
Zika Virus is an infection caused by the bite of the infected Aedes mosquito. It was originally discovered in 1947 in the Zika forests in Uganda and hence it was named as Zika. Since 1950’s the virus was mostly confined to Africa and from 2014 onwards the virus has been r...

NASA is assisting public health officials, scientists and communities to better understand Zika virus and try to limit the spread of the disease it causes.
Scientists at Marshall have partnered with the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, and other institutions to forecast the potential spread of Zika virus in the United States.
The research team looked at key factors -- including temperature, rainfall and socioeconomic factors -- that contribute to the spread of Zika virus to understand where and when a potential outbreak may occur. Their final product, a Zika risk map, can help government agencies and health organizations better prepare for possible disease outbreaks related to the spread of the virus.

The Ministry of Health’s committee on Zika in Trinidad has determined that any pregnant woman that tests positive for Zika is to be referred to the Mount Hope Women’s Hospital, a hospital that dedicates itself to obstetrics. Mothers and babies are monitored on a weekly basis to detect any anomaly in the fetus that might have been caused by the virus. The Ministry of Health’s committee on Zika has been proactively informing the general population on how to prevent the spread of the virus and how to eradicate breeding sites, with a special emphasis on informing pregnant women or women planning to get pregnant. So far, only one case of Zika has been referred to this hospital.
