    Je komt er zelf mee RRR. Ga dan eens door in de discussie en kom niet met flauwekul.

    Ik ben benieuwd naar je antwoord :hoe Pharming die markt van ruim 1 miljard dollar even opvangt.
    1 miljard... Poe dat is nogal wat.... Blockbuster noemen ze dat toch?

    Nog maar een production plant erbij dan maar...

    Zika Virus and Plasma Protein Therapies
    Recent scientific and public press reports have heightened awareness of the Zika virus and its emergence in the Americas. The temporal link between the emergence of the virus in Brazil and the birth of babies with microcephaly is most alarming. HAEi is aware that persons who rely on plasma protein therapies are understandably concerned whether these herapies are safe with respect to the Zika virus. The following are extracts from statements issued by the Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA) and the International Plasma Fractionation Association (IPFA).

    Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA)
    Zika virus is a Flavivirus that is primarily transmitted by the Aedes mosquitos, however it has been reported that it may be transmitted, even if rarely, from mother to child and also by transfusion of infected blood or by sexual contact. Practically all Zika infection cases detected in Europe and the USA so far acquired the disease outside of these geographical areas. While the number of cases of travelers to the risk areas showing Zika infection at return may increase, the current situation indicates an almost total absence of Zika infection in the European
    or USA plasma donor population. In addition, donor-screening procedures make it highly unlikely that any person showing disease symptoms typical of Zika would be accepted for donation. PPTA is aware that there are recommendations by agencies and blood collection organizations to defer
    potential donors of blood components who have traveled to areas considered at risk for Zika virus (i.e., Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America). However, based on the practical absence of the virus in areas used for plasma sourcing such as the US and Europe, the low-levels and short-lived viraemia in the blood of infected individuals, as well as the established and very substantial processes with virus inactivation
    and removal capacity during manufacturing of plasma- derived products, PPTA does not consider that deferral of donors is warranted for donation of plasma for manufacturing use.

    International Plasma Fractionation Association (IPFA).
    Zika virus was first identified in Uganda in 1947. Two epidemics were reported in the Yap Isles in 2007 and in French Polynesia in 2013-2014. In April 2015, locally acquired cases of Zika virus infection have been reported in Brazil and in December, the Brazilian Ministry of
    Health estimated that 440,000–1,300,000 suspected cases of Zika virus infection had occurred in 2015. To date 26 countries and territories in the Americas have confirmed autochthonous circulation of Zika virus with
    an estimated 1.5 million cases of infection. A review of available information on this virus and of manufacturing processes of plasma products manufactured by IPFA members supports the view that Zika virus does not represent a risk of transmission through the use of plasma products. All plasma-derived products manufacturing processes include validated and effective inactivation/removal steps that cover enveloped viruses such as Flaviviridae. Moreover, existing data confirm that a number of purification steps in manufacturing processes also contribute to virus reduction. Since the implementation of these steps in the manufacturing processes of plasma products, there has not been one report of a transmission of an enveloped virus, supporting the conclusion that Zika virus will be inactivated by these measures as well and that no additional measures are required upon collection of plasma specifically destined to the manufacture of plasma products. It can be concluded that Zika virus does not represent a risk of transmission through the use of plasma-derived medicinal products.

    De Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie (WHO) zegt het vaker voorkomt dat het zikavirus seksueel wordt overgedragen dan van tevoren werd gedacht.
    Dat blijkt dinsdag uit een verklaring van de WHO.
    De Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie benadrukt dat er meer onderzoek gedaan moeten worden naar de verschillende varianten van het zikavirus. 
    Er is volgens de WHO steeds meer bewijs dat er een verband bestaat tussen het zikavirus en het ontstaan van het Guillain-Barré Syndroom (GBS), een spierziekte die leidt tot het niet of onvoldoende functioneren van de spieren.
    Landen waarin het zikavirus is vastgesteld moeten rekening houden dat neurologische ziektebeelden en/of aangeboren afwijkingen vaker zullen voorkomen.

    Zika may cause brain infection in adults — study
    Published time: 13 Mar, 2016 08:21

    The mosquito-borne Zika virus already linked to serious brain birth defects could also be responsible for severe brain infections in adults, a new study has shown.
    The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine earlier this week by a group of French researchers, gives evidence that the Zika virus is dangerous not only to newborns but to adults as well.

    The paper focuses on the case of an 81-year-old man who came back from a month-long cruise around New Caledonia, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, and New Zealand in January and was then admitted to a hospital not far from Paris. At that point the man, who previously had been in perfect health, was already in precoma condition, struggling with fever and partial paralysis.

    On the first day of treatment he was diagnosed with meningoencephalitis, an inflammation of the brain and its membrane, while his spinal fluid tests came back positive for Zika. Other viruses that could have caused inflammation were subsequently ruled out.

    “Clinicians should be aware that ZIKV [Zika virus] may be associated with meningoencephalitis,” the team warns.

    The man was discharged in less than three weeks, while it took about five weeks for his cognitive functions to fully recover, according to the report.

    “Even with limited evidence linking Zika virus to neurologic disorders, the severe potential risks demand decisive, immediate action to protect public health,” the World Health Organisation (WHO) wrote in response to the French findings.

    The WHO suggests carrying out “key intervention,” including intensive mosquito control, using protection against mosquito bites, appropriate care for pregnant women and patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome, and prevention of transmission of the virus through blood or sexual intercourse.

    “As the putative link between Zika virus and neurological disorders is reinforced, refined, or even refuted, public health measures will be adjusted accordingly,” the organization added.

    Zika was declared a global health emergency in early February by the WHO.

    Thousands of birth defects are believed to have been caused by the outbreak of the virus, which has spread from Brazil to Latin America and a number of US states.

    About 4,000 infants in Brazil have been born with microcephaly, a type of disorder characterized by underdeveloped brain and skull, to mothers infected with Zika since October 2015.

    Zika news roundup
    Apr 12 2016, 02:36 ET | By: Yoel Minkoff, SA News Editor [Contact this editor with comments or a news tip]

    Dr. Anne Schuchat, a deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters the type of mosquito in which the virus is carried is present in a wider amount of U.S. states, calling the revelation "scarier than we thought."

    Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, announced at a White House briefing that the first Zika vaccine candidate should be available in September

    Door verspreiding zika virus, naar US en andere delen van de welred, kan er mogelijk een tekort aan donorbloed ontstaan. Bloed is De grondstof voor de concurrentie van Pharming.

    Echter ik zou niet weten hoe de beschikbaarheid nu is. Mogelijk wordt het ook duurder omdat er extra moet worden getest?

    Bloed geven is bloody good!

    CDC confirms Zika causes birth defects
    Apr 14 2016, 02:43 ET | By: Yoel Minkoff, SA News Editor [Contact this editor with comments or a news tip]

    U.S. health authorities have finally concluded that infection with the Zika virus in pregnant women is a cause of birth defects and other severe brain abnormalities in babies.

    "There isn't any doubt that Zika causes microcephaly," said Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    The mosquito-born disease was assumed to be responsible for the alarming rise in birth defects among the Zika-hit areas of Brazil, but it had not been declared as the definitive cause until now.

    Kan een 'zwetend' billboard zikamuggen bestrijden?

    Het zwetende billboard. © Still van Youtube.

    Een billboard dat muggen aantrekt en doodt om het hardnekkige zikavirus tegen te gaan. In de Braziliaanse hoofdstad Rio de Janeiro zijn al twee van deze 'zwetende' reclamezuilen door een marketing bureau ontworpen en geïnstalleerd.

    Het bord stoot een melkzuuroplossing en koolstofdioxide uit. De melkzuuroplossing bootst de geur van menselijk zweet na en de koolstofdioxide die van menselijke adem. Vanaf 2,5 kilometer kunnen muggen deze geuren ruiken, zegt de BBC. Wanneer de muggen eenmaal in de zuil zijn gevlogen, kunnen ze er niet meer uit en overlijden ze aan uitdroging. Ze vliegen via openingen onder het bord in de zuil. Vervolgens kunnen mensen de gevangen muggen achter het raampje van het billboard bezichtigen.

    Strijd
    De twee bedrijven achter het 'Mosquito Killer Board', Posterscope en NBS, geloven dat dit idee zou kunnen helpen in de strijd tegen het zikavirus. Het virus wordt door muggen verspreid. Om die reden hebben ze de techniek achter de maak van de zuil openbaar gemaakt.

    ,,Het is indrukwekkend hoeveel muggen er in de val gelokt kunnen worden en hoeveel levens er bespaard kunnen worden met dit idee", zegt Otto Frossard van Posterscope. Hij zegt dat het bord hooguit een paar duizend Braziliaanse real kost. Omgerekend is duizend real ongeveer 170 euro.

    Problemen
    Volgens ongediertebestrijder Chris Jackson van de Universiteit van Southampton is het zwetende bord een goede zaak. ,,Ik denk dat het positief is dat er alles aan wordt gedaan om de ziekte terug te dringen." Toch ziet hij ook problemen met de komst van de zuil. ,,De zuilen staan precies op plekken waar veel mensen rondlopen. Op deze manier leidt je ze naar het bloed dat ze zo graag willen drinken."
