The Zika Virus, Dengue and the Yellow Fever Mosquito - Professor Christo...
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 4 Νοε 2016
This
lecture will discuss the virus and its epidemiology and compare it with
the dengue fever virus about which much more is known. http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
The
Zika virus originated in Africa and causes a febrile illness but was
little known until it spread within Brazil in 2014. It is now found from
Mexico to Paraguay as well as in other parts of the world and has been
linked to serious birth defects. The disease shows no signs of abating.
There are no drugs or no vaccine, so the method of control is to attack
the mosquito. What makes the mosquito (Aedes aegypti) a super efficient
transmitter of viruses? and how it might be controlled by the use of
genetically modified mosquitoes? The lecture will also discuss the
nightmare scenario of the increased range of the mosquito as a result of
climate change.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
