Great show ***** by Histrionicspock
This show should be called, "Getting angry at ignorance" :) It is super fun to listen to the hosts inform, but also entertain by how justifiably angry they get at the ignorant people in today's society. Worth a listen!

The zika /zē kă/ / ZEE'-ka/ virus was first described in 1947 as an RNA virus found  in rhesus monkeys of the Zika Forest of Uganda, Africa.  The first large outbreak recorded in humans was outside Africa and occurred 2007 in Micronesia with about 5000 people reporting symptoms like dengue fever.   A look at saved blood samples from West Africa showed infections in humans from 1968 – 2002.  Symptoms were mild dengue like sickness, but were not noticed at the time because the blood was taken to identify other problems.  At some point the zika virus mutated and jumped species from monkeys to humans. The RNA genotype was fully sequenced by 2007 showing 43 distinct strains.  The zika virus showed adaption to many different species of mosquitos as an intermediate host: Zika is able to invade and be transmitted by several species of mosquitos.  By 2014 zika had outbreaks in Europe, Asia and Indonesia.  No microcephalus cases were noted in babies in any of these or subsequent outbreaks, but that may be because they were not looking for it.  Perhaps during the world cup soccer match the virus began to show up in South America in 2014.  In 2015 Brazil reported to the World Health Organization the number of microcephaly cases suddenly rose to ten times the normally reported cases (some reports say the increase was 90 times normal).  Because zika can live in nerve cell it was postulated that the increase in reported zika cases could be the causal link to the increase in microcephaly.  The actual link and mode of action has not yet been demonstrated.  Zika arrived in Brazil in 2014 and has spread as far as Central America with a few transported cases from there reported in the U.S.  I live in Michigan where it is currently 11 degrees.  Since this is a tropical and sub-tropical virus so far, I give it a few years before it reaches me and by that time hopefully, much of the science about this virus will be done.  Stay calm and swat mosquitos.
