Is the Flavivirus called Clasical Swine Fever Virus the real Zika culprit in Colombia?

Are Pig diseases in Colombia causing human disease?

"In the last decade, there has been a serious increase in Colombia’s pig production. Its pig inventory almost doubled from 2.5 million in 2005 to 4.6 million in 2015. In the most pig dense province Antioquia the pig population almost quadrupled: from 465,000 in 2005 to 1.6 million in 2015."

Or is this Pig Disease related to the Zika epidemic?

Animal health situation

The first outbreak of PEDv in Colombia took place in March 2014. Since then there has been a steady increase in the number of new cases. Between December 2014 and January 2015 there was unofficial information about a possible case of PEDv in the most pig-dense province of Colombia, Antioquia. Because of this the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA) and Colombia’s Pig Producers Association (Asoporcicultores) started a monitoring system based on offering free diagnosis for suspicious cases of PEDv. Their measures included arranging quarantine and transport control for the detected positive cases of PEDv.

" A new study finds that prior herpesvirus infections are linked to a faster age-related increase in blood biomarkers associated with dementia, even in cognitively healthy women. Researchers measured five key biomarkers in 167 women and found that seropositivity for HHVs doubled the rate of biomarker accumulation compared to those without prior infection. The strongest viral associations were seen for Epstein-Barr virus and HHV6, with amyloid-beta and phosphorylated tau levels most affected. These findings support the hypothesis that chronic viral infections may accelerate neurodegeneration and raise dementia risk independently of genetic factors."
