282 cases of Zika virus confirmed in Florida
Posted on 7/13/16 at 6:09 pm

The number of cases has begun to increase exponentially in FLA with fears blood transfer could begin to occur when Mosquitos transfer the blood of infected persons. This brings the number of cases in the U.S. approaching the thousands. The question is what is the tipping point where the virus spreads simply by mosquito in the US

Too bad it isn't 282 cases of Zima.

Serious question - I understand it could transfer from one person to another this way, but does this introduce it into the mosquito family tree too?

Find the Puerto Ricans, find the Zika.

I think that I originally brought it to the US from Rio back in January. Sorry :(

Just returned from Quintana Roo, Mexico, so I stayed outside last night so the local mosquitos could savor my Zika infected blood and share it with my neighbors who complain that I never bring them anything back from my travels.

They still make Zima?

In addition, Aedes aegypt, the primary carrier has a more limited range than the Aedes albopictus, which is less likely to be a carrier. The short life span of Aedes aegypt (2 weeks), the limited number of cases, and the fact that they are all travel related are factors to act as barriers to reaching that tipping point. So hopefully these factors continue to work in that favor.
