2 Mahoning women test positive for Zika Published: Fri, July 1, 2016 @ 12:01 a.m.By PETER H. MILLIKEN [email protected] AUSTINTOWN The Mahoning County District Board of Health has reported the first cases of county residents testing positive for the Zika virus. One is a 26-year-old Youngstown woman who traveled to Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory where mosquitoes are known to transmit Zika. The other is a 52-year-old woman residing elsewhere in the county who traveled to St. Lucia, which is a Caribbean island. Neither Patricia Sweeney, county health commissioner, nor Melanie Amato, Ohio Department of Health public information officer, specifically identified the community of residence of the 52-year-old. Still, officials sought to tamp down any fear about Thursday’s revelation. “These local cases are not a threat to the public health of residents in Mahoning County,” Sweeney said. Neither Mahoning County case has been hospitalized and neither is under quarantine, Amato said. The two residents found to have Zika were tested after they showed Zika symptoms, Amato said. Twenty-one Ohio residents have tested positive for Zika; 20 of them traveled to the tropics. The remaining case was transmitted in Ohio from a man to his wife after the man had traveled to the tropics, Amato said. No residents of Trumbull and Columbiana counties have tested positive for Zika, Amato said. There have been 822 travel-associated Zika cases in the United States, Sweeney said. No known Zika cases have been acquired from mosquitoes within the 50 states, she added. Zika is spread primarily by the bite of the infected mosquito, Aedes aegypti, and not person to person, Sweeney said. That mosquito is found mainly in the tropics and Southern U.S., she added. To transmit Zika from one person to another, a mosquito would have to bite the source person while that person is symptomatic, live long enough to incubate the virus and bite someone else, Amato said. That mosquito is very rare in Ohio, with ODH having trapped only a few of them, none recently, Amato said. Eighty percent of Zika-infected people have no symptoms, Sweeney said. Symptoms, which begin two to seven days after someone is bitten by an infected mosquito, are fever, rash, red eyes, joint and muscle pain and headache. Symptoms are generally mild and usually last no longer then a week, with hospitalization being uncommon, Sweeney said. Zika is associated with birth defects, such as babies being born with small heads, and with Guillain-Barre syndrome, which attacks the immune system and can cause paralysis. “Residents who travel to countries where the Zika virus is prevalent should follow travel precautions and prevent mosquito bites,” Sweeney said. “We recommend that, after travelers return to Ohio, they wear an EPA-approved insect repellent for three weeks” after visiting the tropics and refrain from unprotected sex, Amato said. Noting that mosquitoes can locally spread the West Nile virus and La Crosse encephalitis, Sweeney advised everyone to have intact door and window screens and wear insect repellent. Amato advised wearing long sleeves and long pants and avoiding being outdoors at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. “Clear all standing water,” Amato advised, referring to accumulations in scrap tires, toys and empty flower pots after it rains. Drain birdbaths frequently, she urged. - See more at: http://www.vindy.com/news/2016/jul/01/2-mahoning-women-test-positive-zika/#sthash.OdrxiLKF.dpuf

MOST PEOPLE FULLY RECOVER. WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILL BEGIN PUTTING OUT SKIED ATTRACTS AROUND THE CITY. CINCINNATI —A case of the Zika virus has been reported in Cincinnati, health commissioner Dr. O'dell Owens announced in a news conference Friday. CINCINNATI HEALTH OFFICIAL URGES PREGNANT WOMEN TO AVOID...Cincinnati health officials released a statement Monday, advising women who are pregnant or want to become pregnant to avoid travel to southern regions. MOREOfficials said the victim, a man in his 50s, apparently contracted the virus while traveling in the Caribbean. Health officials said the virus was transmitted through a mosquito bite, and the man has since fully recovered. Watch this story It's the first reported case of the virus in Cincinnati. Owens said as outdoor activities are likely to ramp up this holiday weekend, it’s a good time to encourage Cincinnatians to keep their guard up. “We knew this day would come when, unfortunately, we would make the announcement that Cincinnati has experienced its first case of the Zika virus,” he said. There have now been 21 reported cases of the virus in the state of Ohio, five of which were reported within the past week. Owens said 80 percent of the individuals who contract the virus do not experience the symptoms. “Symptoms tend to be a fever, a rash, some joint pain and sometimes a red eye,” Owens said. “His blood was sent to the CDC, where he was diagnosed as having the Zika virus.” The Zika virus is spreading rapidly through Latin America. Zika is suspected of causing a devastating birth defect -- babies born with abnormally small heads -- and pregnant Americans are urged to avoid travel to affected areas. Zika virus is primarily transmitted through a mosquito bite. There is no indication that it can spread from person to person through casual contact. When symptoms occur, officials said they are often mild, lasting from several days to a week, and include fever, rash, joint and muscle pain, conjunctivitis (red eyes) and headache. Severe disease requiring hospitalization is uncommon. http://www.wlwt.com/news/first-case-of-zika-virus-reported-in-cincinnati-health-officials-say/40317418

- PRESS RELEASE ---For Immediate Release DCHHS Reports 11th Zika Virus Case in Dallas County DALLAS (July 1, 2016) – Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) is reporting the tenth case of Zika virus in Dallas County in 2016. The case was confirmed through testing in the DCHHS lab. DCHHS has submitted the case for review to the Texas Department of State Health Services. The 32-year-old patient is a resident of Dallas who was infected with the virus during recent travel to Puerto Rico. For medical confidentiality and personal privacy reasons, DCHHS does not provide additional identifying information. While sexual transmission of Zika virus is possible, it is primarily transmitted to people by Aedes species mosquitoes. The most common symptoms of Zika virus are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting several days to a week. DCHHS advises individuals with symptoms to see a healthcare provider if they visited an area where Zika virus is present or had sexual contact with a person who traveled to an area where Zika virus is present. There is no specific medication available to treat Zika virus and there is not a vaccine. The best ways to avoid Zika virus are to avoid mosquito bites and sexual contact with a person who has Zika virus. There are currently no reports of Zika virus being locally-transmitted by mosquitoes in Dallas County. However, imported cases make local spread by mosquitoes possible because the mosquitoes that can transmit the virus are found locally. DCHHS advises recent travelers with Zika virus symptoms as well as individuals diagnosed with the virus to protect themselves from further mosquito bites. # For additional information, contact: YaMonica Sadberry, Administrative [email protected] 214.819.6070 (office) Zachary Thompson, Director 214.755.9299 (cell)
