The Effects Of Genetical Modified Organisms ( Gmo )

There is a problem within the world of GMOs. The problem lies in the negative public relation between GMO food producers/sellers and the public/consumers. There is a negative public relation due to the lack of education and information on GMO foods going out. There has been little to no effort in educating the public as to why they believe GMO foods cause no harm. A GMO food is any edible food who’s DNA has been modified by scientists. There are many ethical and environmental problems that accompany GMO foods but GMO producers/sellers say that the benefits greatly outweigh the problems. If there was an active effort to educate the general public on GMOs then maybe the producers/sellers could be able to take away the negative image that has been associated with GMO foods. If educated the GMO foods can become more advertised and accepted worldwide. This study aims to test whether or not educating individuals on GMO foods will sway or strengthen their opinion on GMO foods.

The history of the Zika Virus went all the way back to 1947 in Africa. Zika is a virus transmitted by an Aedes mosquito; which also . Now, the Lugandian word ‘zika’ is defined as overgrown. It all started when these scientist who initially were researching yellow fever by putting a pyrexial rhesus monkey in a cage , and isolated it in the Zika Forest. As the monkey was in the forest, it later progressed in a fever. The scientist who were conducting the research, stated that this is the Zika Virus, in 1952. The illness got it name from the place of isolation; in the Zika Forest. They claimed that the infection was found very rare in Africa and South America at the time, most of the causes

The Zika Virus is a member of the Flaviviridae family which is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. Infected people with this virus usually don't notice the disease because the symptoms are not major. However fever, rash, joint pain, muscle pain, headache, or red eyes issues can occur while the person is affected. One benefit of this virus is that once a person has been infected, he or she is protected from future infections. Unfortunately, there is no vaccine or medical treatment to prevent the virus. As a result of doctors and the center for disease

Zika is a virus that is rapidly being spread mostly by the bite of the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. These mosquitoes lay eggs in or around standing water. This disease has been seen in many parts of the world such as Bolivia, Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Suriname, Venezuela, and the United States. Zika has been seen in primates for several years in Uganda since 1947. Five years later, the virus was seen in humans (CDC.gov). The earliest large outbreak since 1952, was in 2007 on the island of Yap. This caused the disease to spread from Africa to Asia (Who.int). Doctors are continuing to see several cases of the Zika virus as the years go by. The Centers for Disease and Prevention Control took

The zika is a member of Flaviviridae family and the virus is transmitted via mosquito to humans and the findings of the experiments done by Dr. Kellie Ann Jurado and her team are extremely important for modern society since it’s a major health problem that even affected Floridian residents. Sika virus has caused a recent epidemic and spread in the Americas. The zika virus is not a new virus but only recently is has being more studied it was isolated from monkeys in 1947. The spread of the zika was relatively silence since the pathogenic consequences it cause were not as great as other viruses. When the sika virus hit the Americas a large group of scientists and Dr. Kellie Ann Jurado included started to see

The Zika virus has recently arrived in the United States. Spread by the Aedes species of mosquitoes, this virus can cause birth defects in pregnant women. The mosquito that spreads the virus bites aggressively in the daytime, so individuals are at risk at any time of the day. Once infected, individuals may develop flu-like symptoms and can pass the virus on to someone else.

Since the first reported case of Zika virus in the 1950s, the virus has affected millions of people. There have been 2 documented outbre (Ochler, et. al, 2016)aks of the virus one in France in 2013 and the second in South and Central America in 2015. The most recent outbreak alone contributed to 1.3 million cases

Although the Zika virus was discovered in 1947, in the past three years it has become an epidemic. The virus has caused illness to 65 countries, and is causing birth defects in newborn babies. It has become an outbreak and has spread all over Middle and South America. Not only does it cause problems in the present, but it brings major concerns for the future. Scientists believe that over time it will come and go, but that doesn’t mean all of the problems that come with it will be gone. The biggest issues is how it risks pregnant women and their unborn children.

As is says in the CBS news article, “Farmers, stores and many other groups benefit from GMOs”. In all of the years of GMOs being used, nobody has ever been affected by them of gotten sick because of GMOs. GMOs are the best thing that has happened to this country food wise, simply because of how much productive our nation's corn, beets, potatoes, and many other crops.

A study indicated that areas of Africa and the Asia-Pacific regions are perfect areas for the spread of the disease. This is due to the presence of the mosquito as a transmission vector and ideal climate conditions as well as the fact that these areas may be resource-limited, of have other economic factors that potentially increase risk. These issues are then further compacted by the immense population in these areas. Globally, there are over 75 countries that are affected by Zika, a snapshot of two countries, India and China will show how large this issue can potentially become. India has an estimated 67,000 visitors annually and approximately 1.2 billion residents, China hosts over 238,000 visitors and has a population of 242 million residents (Bogoch et al., 2016). That’s nearly 1.4 billion people that can be affected by Zika in only two countries. The main reason for the necessity of a global response is not that Zika is a deadly disease, but rather the fact that there have been cases of microcephaly linked to pregnant patients and infants who had Zika. With such a large part of the world that is at risk for Zika, the next focus should be on a global response and what’s being done in the way of

The Zika virus is a major, pressing virus that has not spread to America, but studies say it soon will. The Zika virus has been around since 1947, but in the past year, it has started to spread rapidly. Many people are becoming infected with the Zika virus, and women who are pregnant are giving birth to children with microcephaly (small heads). In the past six months, the Zika virus has spread from Southeast Asia and Africa to Brazil, where there was an outbreak last May. With time, dedication and knowledge, we can start to reduce the spread of Zika and help improve the lives of those infected.

The most sophisticated way may be to avoid the mosquitos altogether. According to the World Health Organization More than a handful governments and pharmaceutical companies are working on a vaccine for Zika. Some are hunting old-fashioned vaccines, like the ones used to protect from measles and chicken pox; these vaccines stimulate the body's immune response by exposing it to a faded version of the virus or just simply to the molecules from a virus that cause the body to produce antibodies. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) mentioned that by following the blueprint used to create a vaccine for the mosquito-borne West Nile virus would be a cheaper and faster way around it. That technique relies on injecting DNA particles — normally found inside the cells of a bacteria — that are separated from a cell's DNA and can duplicate by itself. DNA molecules (plasmids) have the advantage of carrying the DNA code for their virus' antigens, without being contagious, therefore stimulating the body's autoimmune response. So far, the plasmid-based West Nile virus vaccine was successful in its early experimental tests.

The Democratic Republic of Congo has faced challenges controlling this outbreak due to shortages in vaccines. They have instead focused on using bug spray and destroying possible mosquito breeding grounds to limit the the spread of the disease. In August the WHO developed a mass vaccination plan to provide vaccinations to over 14 million people. The action taken against yellow fever has proved effective in limiting its spread and containing the outbreak. Congo has not offered solutions or significant funding to combat Zika, instead focusing on internal health issues. The actions the Congo has taken in order combat yellow fever could be applied to the prevention of the spread of Zika. Preventing the breeding of mosquitoes and the widespread use of bug spray has the potential to limit

Of late, it does not have a remedy. Nevertheless, the procedure of developing a vaccine is going on. To reduce a high level of spreading, the public health plan should involve controlling mosquitos as a way of preventing and combatting Zika virus. To help in solving the situation, individuals should engage in personal preventive measures, such as minimizing skin exposure and using mosquito repellants and nets. Members of the public should also eradicate possible zones, where Aedes mosquitos can

The A. Aegypti species, natural habitat lies throughout tropical regions of America, Asia and Africa as well as northern Australia and some of the islands situated within the Indian ocean (Soumahoro et al. 2012). The mosquito seeks a “blood host” most actively during the hours of the day and is most commonly found living in domestic habitats, in non-biodegradable containers, tires and other household plastics that hold water. It is in those areas the A. Aegypti mates, lays its eggs and feeds (Troncoso 2016). “A. Aegypti has been suggested as a vector of Zika Virus disease (Medlock et al. 2012), exemplifying a high risk for global transmission of the disease (Troncoso 2016). Related to
