Test North Atlantic Right Whales For Zika by Rose Poster
Based on phylogenetics, it is likely that Zika is infecting North Atlantic right whales. My PSA (just published) connects the dots (with studies): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrSuDXGKaNY&t
After I read that:
"Scientists aren't ready to entirely blame ships and fishing gear, and are concerned that something else might be happening.
They've been concerned there weren't as many calves and that perhaps the whales are in the Gulf of St. Lawrence because their food supplies in other areas aren't enough to sustain them, or that maybe another health factor is making them more susceptible to other stressors — like ships."
I recalled that whales can be infected by encephalitis viruses. Study sources:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15566723
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/17/8/10-1979_article
And I believe Wolbachia-infected Aedes eggs and larvae in the waters of southeastern U.S. and areas around northeastern Brazil (and wherever right whales "winter" are the problem). When Culex mosquitoes naturally acquire Wolbachia (and there are multiple ways this can happen), they were better vectors of West Nile virus and malaria.

I originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it.
I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
