Is the Classical Swine Fever epidemic in Colombia the real cause of deformities blamed on Zika virus?

http://www.thepigsite.com/swinenews/39133/classical-swine-fever-outbreaks-hit-colombia/ Zika: Colombia cases in pregnant women double in a week   http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-35450644  Zika Virus and Classical Swine Fever virus are from the same family. Is there a link between the pig and human epidemics in Colombia? "Mechanical transmission by vehicles and equipment, as well as by personnel (notably veterinarians) travelling between pig farms, are also significant means of spread of CSF [Classical Swine Fever Virus, a flavivirus like Zika ] within infected areas. The persistence of CSFV within herds for long periods has been observed. Infections of sows during pregnancy with low to moderately virulent strains of CSFV may lead to in utero infections of fetuses. These infections lead to litters born persistently infected with CSFV that are carriers of the virus and source for new infections. Persistently infected carrier pigs usually do not show clin

What is the relationship between Classical Swine Fever Virus and Zika Virus in Brazil? Both cviruses are from the Flaviviridae family.

"ABSTRACT Classical swine fever (CSF) is a highly contagious viral disease of Suidae animals, caused by a Pestivirus from Flaviviridae family, considered one major cause of economic losses to the swine producers. The CSF eradication and control program (CSFECP) established from 1992 evolved to 2001, divide the country in CSF Free Zone, without CSF vaccination and CSF infected area. The purpose of this work was to analyze the CSFECP efficacy in all Brazilian territory from 2000 to 2011 including CSF outbreaks in infected area of North and Northeast regions. CSF epidemiological data were obtained mainly from Federal Agriculture Defense Secretary and States Official Inspection Agencies. The CSF outbreaks occurred in CSF infected area were plotted and the tendency line analyzed by quadratic trend model (Minitab). The results of Brazilian statutory for CSF point to a gradual CSF-eradication in all country since the number of

Are pigs a source of Zika Virus in Recife, Brazil?

 "I just want to understand, how come no one is punished?" said the diminutive, 68-year-old widow, who cares for six grandchildren and three unemployed daughters and collects cans and bottles, along with garbage to feed her pigs in Recife's squalid Coque shantytown. http://www.latimes.com/travel/la-trw-recife27apr27-story.html "Female mosquitoes — which are the only ones that bite, by the way — need to take a blood meal in order to reproduce. They can bite any vertebrate — birds, pigs , even reptiles, and, of course, humans. And since they are so mobile, they easily spread disease from one host to another. They act as syringes for transmitting viruses. What is happening now with the Zika virus, is what is happening among many other arboviruses, like dengue, West Nile and chikungunya: They all seem to be spreading westwards. And we’re undergoing a pandemic."   http://newsblog.drexel.edu/2016/01/22/qa-is-zika-virus-a-threat-to-the-united-states/

Will Truvada turn out to be another CDC human rights disaster?

"The Truvada website’s  Patient Assistance Page  identifies  lactic acidosis  as a potential side effect of taking the drug; this side effect is potentially life-threatening and serious even when it doesn’t result in death. Lactic acidosis is when your body tissue and blood becomes too acidic and has a lactate build up. In the past the FDA has withdrawn drugs (such as phenformin) for the potential development of this condition . I think this is not only misleading, but unethical to suggest that a drug that is  potentially life-threatening  has “virtually no side effects.” Especially when other drugs have been taken off shelves for the same side effect."  h ttp://www.blackgirldangerous.org/2014/02/truvada-potentially-life-threatening-drug-recommended-healthy-gay-men/

Beldekas gave samples of all his lab work to Gallo. Later, the government asked Beldekas to turn over all his reagents and lab work to the government, which he did. Beldekas had found ASFV presence in nine of 21 AIDS patients using two standard procedures. At the meeting, Gallo was reported saying: “we know it is not ASFV.” How could Gallo know this as he hadn’t done any of his own tests to look for ASFV? Two months later, Gallo published an article in Science (Oct 31, 1986) that he discovered a new possible co-factor in AIDS, a virus he called Human B Cell Lymphotropic Virus which he named HBLV. Like ASFV, HBLV infected B cells and also
