Guinea-Bissau records first three cases of ZikaBy AFP PUBLISHED: 12:42 EST, 2 July 2016 | UPDATED: 12:43 EST, 2 July 2016 14sharesGuinea-Bissau has recorded three cases of Zika, becoming the second country in West Africa where the dangerous viral disease has been detected, the government said on Saturday. "Three cases of contamination by Zika virus have been confirmed," a statement quoted Health Minister Domingos Malu as saying. The cases occurred in the Bijagos archipelago, a group of 88 islands of which 23 are inhabited, Malu told a cabinet meeting on Friday. +1Zika is benign in most people but has been linked to microcephaly -- a shrinking of the brain and skull -- in babies, and to rare adult-onset neurological problems ©Marvin Recinos (AFP/File) The communique gave no further detail about the three cases, their location or how the disease may have arrived on the Bijagos. A hospital source told AFP that investigations were underway but the first case may have occurred early last month on Bubaque, one of the Bijagos islands. A former Portuguese colony of 1.6 million people, Guinea-Bissau suffers from chronic poverty and instability. Previously, the only other country in West Africa where Zika had been detected was Cape Verde, an archipelago in the Atlantic, where 7,500 cases have been recorded since October 2015. Saturday's statement said the authorities were taking steps to prevent further spread of the mosquito-borne virus. It announced that an anti-Zika commission had been set up, comprising several ministers under the authority of Prime Minister Baciro Dja. Zika is benign in most people but has been linked to microcephaly -- a shrinking of the brain and skull -- in babies, and to rare adult-onset neurological problems such as Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which can result in paralysis and death. In an outbreak that started last year, about 1.5 million people have been infected with Zika in Brazil, and more than 1,600 babies born with abnormally small heads and brains. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-3671599/Guinea-Bissau-records-three-cases-Zika.html

Fri Jul 1, 2016 3:19pm EDTRelated: HEALTHGuinea-Bissau confirms three cases of Zika virus, government says Guinea-Bissau has confirmed its first three cases of the Zika virus in a group of islands off the mainland and has set up an emergency committee to stop further transmission of the disease, the government said on Friday. Experts have feared the tiny nation could become a gateway for Zika's spread to mainland West Africa, after an outbreak of the mosquito-borne virus was first recorded in the African island chain of Cape Verde late last year. "The Health Minister has informed (the government) of three confirmed cases of Zika virus contamination located in the Bijagos Archipelago," read a government statement sent to reporters. Zika is spreading through the Caribbean and Latin America. Only about 20 percent of infected cases display symptoms, which are usually mild and include fever, joint pain and conjunctivitis.But the CDC says it can be spread from pregnant women to fetuses and has been linked to a birth defect called microcephaly, in which babies are born with abnormally small heads and sometimes brain damage. Guinea-Bissau's government said it was establishing a committee headed by Prime Minister Baciro Dja that would impose a series of measures aimed at containing the disease. The statement did not give the suspected origin of the three cases. The World Health Organisation confirmed in May that Cape Verde's Zika strain was the same one found in Brazil, where more than 1,400 cases of microcephaly have been recorded in babies whose mothers were infected with the virus during pregnancy. The Cape Verde islands are located nearly 600 km (370 miles) off Africa's western Atlantic coast, creating a geographical buffer with a West African region still reeling from the deadliest Ebola epidemic on record. However, Guinea-Bissau's Bijagos Archipelago begins just a short boat ride from the mainland. The maze of islands and waterways have helped make the chronically unstable, coup-prone nation a major transit point for South American cocaine heading to Europe.
