Hey Alex, I was just reading an article that says Zika is caused by the spray the infected countries are using to kill mosquitos so those poor creatures are scapegoats.
- DanielaSlater9 years agoCommunity MemberWhy don't they stop using the spray then?
- NancyWoinoski9 years agoSuper HeroI think researchers are just starting to make a connection between the Pyriproxyfen used in the spray and the birth defects that people have been attributing to Zika. So nothing has been proven. The mosquitos could be carrying Zika but Zika it may not be the cause of the birth defects.
- AlexanderSalas9 years agoCommunity Memberhhhhmmm... What's the source? The Aedes and Anopheles class mosquitoes are also known as Yellow Fever and Malaria vectors (transmitters). In this case, mosquitoes are Zika vectors and not the causing agent. So far, the only good purpose for mosquitoes is their place in the food chain for other animals ; )
