Genetically Engineered Skeeters?!?!

back in 1982 it was determined that Zika can be Transovarial transmitted.

I haven't seen any news story mention this yet.

Data of monkey serology are presented which, together with past evidence, support the view that yellow fever (YF) virus circulates in its primary sylvan host populations, i.e., forest monkeys, in an enzootic state in Bwamba County in western Uganda but as series of epizootics in the forest-savanna mosaic zone of central Uganda. Evidence of an epizootic of Zika virus at the Zika Forest near Entebbe is described which occurred in two episodes, the first (in 1969) apparently following the build-up of non-immune monkey populations since a previous epizootic of 1962-63 and the second (in 1970) when Aedes africanus biting densities rose. This was followed only 18 months later by an intensive epizootic of YF virus, contradictory to the hypothesis that Zika virus alone would suppress subsequent epizootics of YF virus in nature, at least when redtail monkeys are involved. Conclusions are finally reviewed in the light of more recent evidence of transovarial flavivirus transmission in mosquitoes, pointing out that phlebotomine sandflies also require fresh attention.

transovarian transmission occurs in certain arthropod vectors as they transmit disease-causing bacteria from parent arthropod to offspring arthropod

means mamma mosquito's larva can be born carrying Zika

So it's not just passing from human to human via a single mosquito......it's one mosquito gets Zika, has 1,000 kids, and then 1,000 Zika mosquitoes coming for the heat signature of your family

1982?

mo fo's been messin with nature for a long long time, eh?!

Natural News is full of pseudoscientific bullshite. GM mosquitoes can't transfer altered DNA to you--it's the virus that does that by inserting its own genes into your cells.

Zika virus has been around for decades. GM mosquitoes have only been around a few years.

People actually believe what is written on those websites?

It amuses me that people will believe random internets sites, with no critical thinking of expectation of scientific process....but then will completely dismiss the mountains of actual scientific research that has been done and published by actual doctors and health organizations.

People, dumb. I'm cheering for the aliens to show up and wipe the planet clean.

you don't think so, eh hog?

is that because you trust the party line, or is it something else?

RadioLab did an episode on these genetically-modified mosquitoes.

and?

what they say?

They said like an hour worth of shite. Listen to it if you want.

F*cking Brazil. They should stick to soccer and leave the bio-engineering sh*t to the professionals.

remember them killer bees?
