With international health experts convening in Geneva to discuss the outbreak of and possible cures for the Zika virus, questions are being raised as to whether the GMMs are to blame.

In mid-2012, British biotech company Oxitec released the super bugs with the aim of reducing the overall mosquito population that spreads dengue fever, the Zika virus, and chikungunya in northeast Brazil.

At the time, concerns were raised about the release of GMMs without further studies into possible side effects.

"It's a very experimental approach which has not yet been successful and may cause more harm than good," Dr Helen Wallace, director of GeneWatch, told the Guardian in 2012.

The first cases of Zika in humans were reported in the south American country last May with up to 1.5 million now thought people affected by the virus, which Oxitec’s critics note is the same area where the GMMs were released.

Since the outbreak, there have been over 4,000 cases of babies born with microcephaly in Brazil, although various others causes can also be attributed to the rise.

The Aedes aegypti mosquito sub-species that carries both the Zika virus and dengue is the very type Oxitec targeted with its GMMs.

The aim of Oxitec's GM program was to release only male Aedes mosquitoes into the wild and they would in turn produce offspring with their virus carrying female counterparts.

This offspring would then die off before breeding age due to the GM coding in their genes, as long as the antibiotic tetracycline wasn't present, which would override the GM DNA.

Sounds like the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster.

There is already a known survival rate of up to five percent in these GMMs regardless of the presence of tetracycline.

This antibiotic, which is often used to treat teenage acne, can be found in nature too, showing up in soil, surface water, and food, with some research stating that the GMM survival rate could potentially increase to 15 percent.

Oxitec critics also suggest that in the absence of studies into the potential knock-on effects of this in these mutated mosquitoes, it’s possible they could in fact thrive in the wild with unknown mutations taking place in GMMs, which in turn could worsen the spread the Zika virus.

Calls for further studies into GMMs prior to their release by Oxitec to answer such questions went unanswered, however.

While this Jurassic Park-type scenario could have been accidentalthe recent UK TV series "Utopia" suggests it could be a deliberate plan to reduce the global population.

WHAT DID I SAY?

Still borin?

Not every day conspiracy?

Weather?

any type of virus / infection is of a trial from the white supremacist to test on 'the poor'

 

to test on 'people of colour'

 

to wipe them out

This is the new HIV

But it's worse

[ag.]

"With the exception of the risks for unborn babies, Zika is not considered dangerous.

Common symptoms can last up to a week and include fever, rashes, joint pain and conjunctivitis."

Yh cool long as no one gets pregnant

Nonsense HIV is the worst thing about

Few months of Zika or lifetime with the H?.....

If infection with Zika virus is usually mild, why all the fuss? Unfortunately, the virus has two uncommon but severe complications that make it a menace to public health. The Zika outbreak in French Polynesia was associated with a twenty-fold increased risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome. This is an autoimmune disease, often triggered by infections, in which the immune system attacks the myelin lining of nerve cells, resulting in widespread weakness and paralysis. Weakness and paralysis spread from the legs upward. Two-thirds of patients lose the ability to walk, and 25% need to be put on a mechanical ventilator because of weakness of the respiratory muscles. Although most people make a partial or full recovery, 20% are still unable to walk at 6 months after diagnosis.

The other condition linked to Zika virus is microcephaly, a birth defect in which a developing baby’s brain fails to grow to its usual size. Almost 4,000 Brazilian infants with microcephaly have been born since the start of the Zika epidemic, which is about 20 times the expected number. In Paraiba, one of the areas hardest hit by Zika, officials reported microcephaly in one out of every 100 newborns, a rate which is 100 times higher than usual. Hearing and vision problems have also been reported in newborns exposed to Zika in the womb.

Guillane barré syndrome sounds worse than HIV. I wonder how the infection rates compare

Plus you can be infected and not show any symptons

1. How long does the Zika virus remain in your blood?

Not long. Zika seems to disappear from blood between 2-7 days after infection. In some patients, it may persist in urine and semen for longer (weeks); more research needs to be done on this (see http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/21/2/pdfs/14-1363.pdf).

So not long but they dnt really kno
