Thihalolipavan said that about 80 percent of people who become infected with West Nile virus never know it. "Because we're not just fighting West Nile virus anymore," Cox said. Thihalolipavan said that West Nile virus was still a threat. It treats another 1,400 potential breeding areas by hand, gives out free mosquito-eating fish, collects and tests dead birds for West Nile virus and tracks Zika cases. In 2016, 22 county residents tested positive for West Nile virus and two people died.
As Mosquito Season Ramps Up, So Does Progress on Zika Vaccine
The only difference between the vaccine strain of Zika virus and an actual infection by Zika virus is the 'attenuation' of the vaccine strain - meaning that it will not cause illness. A live-attenuated Zika virus vaccine candidate induces sterilizing immunity in mouse models. A new Zika vaccine may be just around the corner, with incredibly promising results recently published in Nature Medicine. This Zika vaccine strain seems to be even better than most. Not only that, but, the vaccine strain did not infect mosquitoes after they fed on it in spiked-blood meals.collected by :Lucy William
