I really enjoyed Amrit, Charly, and Sydney’s presentation on Zika. It was nice to learn about the biology of the Zika virus, how it infects both animals and humans, and the symptoms. The presentation was particularly scary for me because I will be in countries in Latin America with Zika virus for 4 months straight, and I could possibly not know if I was infected by the virus. Even more alarming is that the effects of the virus are still unknown and there is no protection against it. In terms of their on-the-ground project, I think it will be difficult to gather data on Zika occurrences in Hormiguero because there is no easy way to test for it, and furthermore the disease is asymptomatic so it would be hard to determine the frequency of the disease in the area. The handout seems very informative, though, and I think that it would be very appreciated to spread awareness in the area.
