“…Brezilya dışındaki diğer ülkelerde de virüs hızla yayılım göster-miştir. Amerika kıtasında 2015 yılından bu yana toplamda 34 ülke ve bölgede ZİKV infeksiyonu bildirilmiştir (79,81) . Avrupa kıtasında ilk vaka Kasım 2013'te Almanya'dan bildirilmiştir.…”

“…Flavivirüs genusunda ZİKV dışında Batı Nil virüsü, sarıhumma, Dengue, Saint Louis virüsü gibi pek çok tür bulunmaktadır (79) . Yakın zamana kadar çok fazla bilinmeyen, sıklıkla sporadik olgular halinde bildirilen ZİKV infeksiyonları, son yıllarda Okyanusya (11) ve Latin Amerika'da (69) oluşturduğu salgınlar, sebep olduğu ciddi nörolojik komplikasyonlar ve konjenital anomaliler nedeniyle tüm dünyanın ilgisini üzerinde toplamıştır.…”

“…Less severe forms of brain damage are also anticipated in many of the infected infants with normal head size [5]. The Zika virus was initially described in 1947 [6,7], yet its association with microcephaly was only reported in 2015 [8,9]. It remains uncertain whether prior cases of microcephaly were simply not recognized as occurring in infants of Zika virus infected mothers or if the virus has newly acquired pathogenicity for the fetus.…”

Proposed Testing of KELEA Activated Drinking Water in Zika Virus Infected Pregnant Women

The current outbreak of Zika virus infections is particularly alarming because infection during pregnancy can lead to severe brain damage in the developing fetus. There are currently no anti-viral therapies being provided to Zika virus infected pregnant women. Methods are available to enhance the alternative cellular energy (ACE) pathway as a non-immunological anti-virus defense mechanism. Benefits of these therapies have been described in patients infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV), herpes zoster virus (HZV), human papillomaviruses (HPV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). ACE pathway based therapies are particularly important in suppressing infections with stealth adapted viruses, which are not effectively recognized by the cellular immune system. As proposed elsewhere, co-infection with stealth adapted viruses may help explain the transplacental passage of the Zika virus into fetal tissues. Drinking water that has been activated with KELEA (kinetic energy limiting electrostatic attraction) can potentially provide a safe and effective means of enhancing the ACE pathway. Clinical trials using this and other approaches to stimulate the ACE pathway should be evaluated in Zika virus infected patients, including pregnant women. Zika virus infected mothers with brain damaged infants should also be tested for co-infection with stealth adapted viruses.

“…The Flavivirus covers so many viral species such as yellow fever, dengue, Saint Louis encephalitis and West Nile viruses etc [17] . The Zika virus is spread by Aedes mosquito mainly Aedesaegypti and Aedesalbopictus particularly in the day time because this virus is very much active in day time [1,2,3,5] .…”
