Wolbachia and Human Infection by RoseWrites Poster

Now that I am working on a documentary about Zika and will be meeting with a multi award-winning filmmaker in May 2017, I am designing Zazzle posters to ensure crucial facts are publicised. When I read the 2015 study by X.-P. Chen, Y.-J. Dong, W.-P. Guo, W. Wang, M.-H. Li, J. Xu, J.S. Dumler, and Y.-Z. Zhang called "Detection of Wolbachia genes in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma", I had some solid proof. Notably: "... the Filariodea coxI gene was not amplified from the blood of this patient." Culex are likely acquiring Wolbachia from Wolbachia-infected Aedes and amplifying disease in humans. And, the most worrisome point is that Wolbachia is likely driving the Zika pandemic. This global map shows where Wolbachia-infected mosquito releases have taken place around the globe. And, I quoted the researchers from this study under the map.
