webfact Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Zika travel advisory issued for 11 Southeast Asia countries MIKE STOBBE, AP Medical Writer NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials are advising pregnant women to postpone travel to 11 countries in Southeast Asia because of Zika outbreaks in the region. The advisory issued Thursday targets travel to Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Maldives, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Zika has been in some areas of Southeast Asia for years, and some residents may be immune. But a number of U.S. travelers have become infected there in the last year, so there is a danger to visitors. Most infected people suffer a mild and temporary illness, at worst. But infection during pregnancy can causes severe brain-related birth defects. The virus is spread primarily by bites from infected mosquitoes. -- © Associated Press 2016-09-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that the U.S. federal and state public health authorities have launched an all out campaign to control the disease. Every case is tracked. Traps and monitoring is constant. The local transmission was isolated to a small area of Miami Beach. The U.S. response has been significantly more effective, more visible, more professional and more transparent that anything done in other countries. The worry is not just for pregnant people. Children who are in a growth period where their brains are rapidly growing are deemed to be high risk too. Hence the recommendation for no travel by infants and young children.

Grubster Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 4 minutes ago, Scotwight said: Will it get rid of the malaria and dengue mosquito too? I have heard that someone has developed a DNA solution to the mosquito problem, but they haven't been able to ensure that it won't effect all mosquitos, and until they can single out one type of mosquito they will not be allowed to use it. I believe they can put some DNA into male mosquitos that will make all of its offspring sterile. Something like that, but if it crosses breeds it could severely effect the wildlife food chain.

It does help that the US is a heck of a lot more developed (economic, infrastructure, etc) than Thailand is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
