WAKOSOAJI: Homa ya Zika imesababishwa na mbu wa GMO

[Crocodiletooth]

Wakosoaji wa mambo wameshuku uibukaji wa homa mpya ya Zika kuhusishwa na Mbu wa GMO waliozalishwa maabara huko nchini Brasil.

Kampuni ya Teknolojia za Baiolojia ya Oxitech ya Uingereza imehusishwa na sakata hilo ambapo mwaka 2012 ilizalisha wadudu wakubwa ambao walikuwa kwa madhumuni ya kutokomeza mbu walioeneza magonjwa kadha, ikiwemo Dengue!

The latest contagious virus freaking out the globe, particularly women worried about birth
defects, may have been caused by the presence of genetically- modified mosquitoes (GMMs) in Brazil.

With international health experts convening in Geneva to discuss the outbreak of and possible cures for the Zika virus, questions are being raised as to whether the GMMs are to blame.

In mid-2012, British biotech company Oxitec released the super bugs with the aim of reducing the overall mosquito population that spreads dengue fever, the Zika virus, and
chikungunya in northeast Brazil.

At the time, concerns were raised about the release of GMMs without further studies into
possible side effects.

"It's a very experimental approach which has not yet been successful and may cause more harm than good," Dr Helen Wallace, director of GeneWatch, told the Guardian in 2012.

The first cases of Zika in humans were reported in the south American country last May with up to 1.5 million now thought people affected by the virus, which Oxitec’s critics note is the same area where the GMMs were released.

Since the outbreak, there have been over 4,000 cases of babies born with microcephaly in Brazil, although various others causes can also be attributed to the rise.

The Aedes aegypti mosquito sub-species that carries both the Zika virus and dengue is the very type Oxitec targeted with its GMMs.

The aim of Oxitec's GM program was to release only male Aedes mosquitoes into the wild and they would in turn produce offspring with their virus carrying female counterparts.

This offspring would then die off before breeding age due to the GM coding in their genes, as long as the antibiotic tetracycline wasn't present, which would override the GM DNA.

Chanzo: GMO mosquitoes could be cause of Zika outbreak, critics say

zika!

Mbona hakuna uhusiano wa gm mosquitoe na generation ya zika.

Hao gm mosquitoes kama ni vector nadhani itabaki vile vile kwamba zika ni kirusi na kilikuwepo kabla ya gm mosquitoe na kwamba hao gm mosquito kama wana uhusiano na zika basi ni kama mosquitoe wengine ambao siyo GM

Wazungu Washenzi Sana hata wale mbu wa Jangwani watakuja kuleta madhara siku zijazo.

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation walifadhili tafiti kwenye hiyo kampuni ya kiingereza Oxitech kuzalisha GM mosquito. Hao genetically modified mosquitos badala yakushambulia mbu wanaoeneza virus wa Zika wenyewe ndio wanaeneza. Angalia jinsi ugonjwa unavyoenee kabla kuchukuliwa hatua hizi. Sasa nchi za south America na central America zinasuffer maradhi haya mabaya kabisa.
