AIDS: Zika fever has been making a lot of noise in the world lately.

Zika Fever: Like you, I came out of Africa and traveled all over the world.

AIDS replies to Zika fever: Zika you ride mosquitoes, I usually only rely on close contact to transmit, and I only like primates, you have more transmission potential than me.

Dengue: I'm also a mosquito rider.

Chikungunya: I'm also a mosquito rider.

Japanese encephalitis: +1 for mosquito riding

Filariasis: +1 for mosquito riding

Yellow Fever: +1 for Mosquito Riding

AIDS: There are so many members of the mosquito-borne disease family, and I'm most familiar with the Zika virus among you, because we both like primates.

Flu: I want to see the autobiography of Zika fever.

AIDS: Little Zika, my dear neighbor, autobiography posted.

Zika fever: Here's my autobiography.

I am Zika Fever, which is the name given to me by humans based on where I was first found.

In 1947, my pathogen was first discovered and isolated in rhesus macaques in the Zika forest of Uganda.

My pathogen is Zika virus.

A flaviviridae, flavivirus genus, enveloped single-stranded positive-stranded RNA virus.

I was transmitted by mosquito bites and is an arbovirus.

Once upon a time, I lurked in the African rainforest, cycling between monkeys and mosquitoes.

Later, when humans entered the rainforest and were bitten by mosquitoes, I took the opportunity to enter the human body.

Human society has developed transportation, and there are a large number of mosquitoes in human settlements.

People – mosquitoes – people.

I spread in the human world.

Humans replaced monkeys as my primary host.

I was bitten by mosquitoes, along with the blood, all over the human body.

I can even enter the fetus through the placental barrier.

People who have been infected by me experience a range of symptoms.

Fever, headache, rash, myalgia, diffuse arthralgia.

Most of these symptoms are self-limiting, and without treatment, the immune system of the infected person can clear me.

However, I can also cause severe symptoms.

For example, autoimmune diseases: Guillain-Barré syndrome, transverse myelitis, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, autoimmune retinopathy......

Especially when I infect pregnant women, it can cause cerebellar malformations in newborns.

Although the mortality rate of the people I infected is not high, the consequences are serious, especially for pregnant women.

So far, human beings have not invented a specific drug for me, and it can only be treated symptomatically.

AIDS: Microcephaly?! It's scary, Zika fever likes to prey on the fetus.

Zika fever reverts to AIDS: That's why I can cause panic in humanity.

HIV: I can also transmit it from mother to child.

Syphilis: I can also transmit it from mother to child.

Hepatitis B: I can also transmit it from mother to child.

Zika fever: I can still spread it sexually.

AIDS: ME TOO.
