Put two and two together: Are pigs in Caera, Brazil the real source of the Zika problem?

Zika is a problem in Caera, Brazil:

Classical Swine Fever Virus (also a Flavivirus like Zika) is also a problem in Caera, Brazil. It causes birth defects in pigs and rashes. Connect the dots. Do the research

If you're in Brazil, urge you scientists to consider the possibility that Zika is really another flavivirus, Classical Swine Fever virus.

Read this description of Classical Swine Fever Virus (which is infecting pigs in areas of Brazil with the so-called Zika problem)

Molecular Characterization of Classical swine fever virus Involved in the Outbreak in Mizoram

 Does this sound like Zika?

 "Highest mortality in young animals was observed during the outbreaks. Percent mortality in pre-weaned and weaned piglets was 50% while 10% in pigs above 1 year of age. The disease showed a variable course and clinical symptoms. The affected animals exhibited clinical signs of inappetance, high fever and constipation followed by diarrhea and haemorrhagic patches in skin, characteristic signs of classical swine fever. There were rashes in the belly, medial aspects of thigh and on the base of ears. Necrotic lesions developed on skin in later stages. Affected pigs showed staggering gait. Pregnant sows either aborted or delivered stillborn fetuses. Agalactia was most common sequele of farrowed sows. On post-mortem examination, pathological changes recorded were button ulcer, extensive haemorrhage in intestine, mesenteric lymph nodes, pharyngeal lymph node, and in palatine tonsils. Kidneys and urinary bladder showed haemorrhagic spots."

 5 Questions for Brazilian scientists and doctors about the Zika-related epidemic

1. Are areas with major pig population places where Zika-related disease and deformities are concentrated?

2. What is the overall health of pigs in Brazil and is it in any way affecting human health?

3. Are Classical Swine Fever and Zika-related diseases and deformities at all related?

4. Did Brazil ever really get rid of African Swine Fever in the 80s or has a low grade form of it been simmering in its pigs for three decades and is it now the underlying problem of Zika-related disease and deformities in humans? 

5. Is Zika Virus just a biomarker or opportunistic infection? Is some other agent the fundamental cause?
