Detecting a range of active ingredients with antiviral effect Zika
According to a reporter in Prague, Czech scientists have pioneered the discovery of a type of active substance with antiviral effect on Zika.
A group of scientists from three research institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences, chaired by Dr. Ljudek Aier, discovered and tested a substance that could create a new composition against Zika virus , a dangerous virus. most for pregnant women because it negatively affects the development of fetal brain.
Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes were studied at the US Centers for Disease Control.
Prague Radio quoted Dr. Aier as saying that scientists need to conduct a series of further tests to confirm whether the active ingredient was found to be dangerous to the fetus in the womb.
Currently tests in cell structures confirm that this active ingredient reduces and blocks the development of Zika virus.
Zika virus was first discovered in the village of Zika in Uganda in 1947. The outbreaks were also recorded in some parts of Africa,
Southeast Asia and the islands in the Pacific Ocean. In May 2015, Zika virus reappeared in Brazil and has since spread to South America and the Caribbean.
Although there are few deaths, but if infected, Zika virus can cause brain atrophy for the fetus in the mother's abdomen. Babies born will have small head abnormalities and many obstacles during development.
