Gov. Rick Scott Requests 250 Additional Zika Antibody Tests from the CDC

On February 24, 2016, in News Releases, by Staff



Three Pregnant Women Traveling from Outside the U.S. Test Positive for Zika​

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, after learning of three pregnant women in Florida who tested positive for Zika virus after traveling to Florida from outside the U.S., Governor Rick Scott requested the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) send 250 additional Zika antibody tests to the state. All of Florida’s 32 cases of the Zika virus are travel related. The antibody tests allow individuals, especially pregnant women and new mothers, to see if they ever had the Zika virus. The state has currently used 255 of these tests since February 9th, and the Florida Department of Health (DOH) has a total of 1,195 antibody tests available currently.

Governor Scott said, “Following the news that three pregnant women tested positive for the Zika virus after traveling to Latin America, we have requested additional antibody tests to ensure we keep a good supply of resources to keep our families safe. I appreciate that the CDC has previously supplied Florida with these antibody tests and I ask that the CDC take immediate action to fulfill this request so we can continue to stay ahead of the possible spread of the Zika virus in Florida. I also want to thank Surgeon General Dr. John Armstrong for his laser-focus on this critical issue and his work to brief the U.S. Congress today on Florida’s preparedness efforts.”

There have been 32 confirmed cases of Zika in Florida, and only three cases are still exhibiting symptoms. According to the CDC, symptoms associated with the Zika virus last between seven to ten days. The Zika Virus Information Hotline is available for current Florida residents and visitors. The hotline, managed by the Department of Health, has assisted 683 callers since it’s launched. The number for the Zika Virus Information Hotline is 1-855-622-6735.
To watch Surgeon General Dr. John Armstrong brief the U.S. Congress on Florida’s preparedness efforts at 2:00pm today, click HERE.

Florida - Test of Zika-fighting genetically altered mosquitoes gets tentative F.D.A. approval

Test of Zika-Fighting Genetically Altered Mosquitoes Gets Tentative F.D.A. Approval

By ANDREW POLLACK
MARCH 11, 2016

The federal government on Friday said that it had tentatively decided to permit a field test in the Florida Keys of genetically engineered mosquitoes that might be effective in limiting the spread of the Zika virus.
The Food and Drug Administration said it had made a preliminary determination that the field trial was unlikely to cause harm to people, animals or the environment.

However, a final approval for the trial will not be made until the F.D.A.receives and assesses comments from the public, which is likely to take months.

Hendry County, FL: Concerns raised about improper drainage and standing water creating mosquito breeding danger in open air monkey breeding facility

http://www.peta.org/blog/zika-virus-prompts-edie-falco-call-shutdown-monkey-prisons/
[h=1]Zika Virus Prompts Edie Falco to Call for Shutdown of Monkey Prisons[/h]

Written by PETA | March 30, 2016
In a letter sent to Dr. Philip this week, Falco writes:
?At these facilities, thousands of monkeys are kept in crowded open-air cages surrounded by ditches and swamps. ? t?s just a matter of time until the virus hits the jackpot?thousands of stressed, caged monkeys who cannot escape hungry mosquitos.?
​
Monkeys, like humans, are natural hosts for the Zika virus?and may not show any symptoms when infected. Thousands of monkeys are now housed by several primate dealers in Hendry County, including the notorious Primate Products, Inc. (PPI). Video shot inside PPI by PETA reveals improper drainage and standing water inside the compound?conditions ripe for mosquito breeding.
