Test Culex & Bulbuls Postcard by RoseWrites

After researching the Zika virus extensively and publishing "Red-Whiskered Bulbul: Zika's Ideal Reservoir Host" on InfoBarrel (under my pen name, RoseWrites), I decided to create another postcard in support of Zika research. Birds can have up to a billion times more viral particles in their blood than similarly infected humans. And birds maintain these high blood virus levels for 1 - 5 days, during which time a single "super amplifier" bird can infect 100s of mosquitoes. This postcard would be an ideal way for scientists, ornithologists, entomologists, ecologists, and others to let politicians, health departments, and others know that Culex and bulbuls need to be acknowledged as a vector and investigated as a reservoir host of the Zika virus. P.S. I will donate 50 percent of my royalties from every sale of this postcard in support of Zika research.
