Meteorologists Predicting Conditions That May Fuel Boom Of Zika Transmitting Mosquito.

reports that meteorologists are predicting spring and summer conditions “that could be ideal for a boom in” the number of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that transmits the Zika virus. US health officials have “warned that mosquito eradication efforts may not be able to keep pace. Although researchers are scrambling to produce a vaccine to prevent Zika, it is unlikely to be ready by the time mosquito season hits.” Temperatures “are forecast to be warmer-than-average across most of the U.S., with the exception of the southern Plains, from May through July.” http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2016/04/20/zika-mosquitoes-weather/82943496/
