El Niño may help spread the Zika virus, alert WHO
At the 138th Session of the Executive Board of the World Health Organization, the Organization's directors were very concerned about the rapid spread of the Zika virus. The WHO estimates that the number of cases may increase to 3 to 4 million in the Americas alone.
Climate factors, such as El Niño, may further increase the Aedes aegypti mosquito population, thereby leading to increased contamination with the virus . This is because the climatic phenomenon usually causes an increase of rain and heat in extensive areas of America, ideal conditions for mosquito breeding and activity. "The conditions associated with El Niño climate patterns this year are expected to increase the mosquito population significantly in a number of areas," said Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General.
In addition, other factors are of concern to WHO, such as the lack of immunity of the population in the affected areas and the absence of vaccines, specific treatments and rapid diagnostic tests of the virus.
Therefore, the fundamental one for the time being is the battle against Aeded aegypti. of Communicable Diseases and Health Analysis of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), one of the experts on the subject who was heard stressed that it is not necessary to panic, but to control the mosquito aggressively, since local populations have never been exposed to the virus it carries and do not have immunity to fight it.

The vaccine prevents the disease caused by the bacterium Salmonella enterica Typhi serotype. As the disease is almost extinct in countries with good basic sanitation, vaccination is only necessary when traveling to endemic regions and is provided by the public health system. Variations Currently, two types of typhoid vaccine: the parenteral vaccine and the oral vaccine of live attenuated bacteria.
