Chickengunya and Birth Defects in Greneda

   Chickungunya, the alphavirus transmitted by Aedes agepti mosquitos, has quickly spread around the world since 2013. The virus is characterized by fever, macupopular rash and joint pain that can las from months to years.  Although this Togavirus causes extreme amounts of pain for some individuals its spread was largely eclipsed by the Zika epidemic that spread around the world at around the same time. Zika controlled the headlines because Zika was associated with birth defects, there is some work that Chickungunya would do the same. 
    Chickungunya first entered the Americas in 2014 with an infection on the island of St Martin.  It quickly spread across the Caribbean and into some parts of Florida. An ongoing longitudinal study by Priyanka Suresh looked at if CHKV was responsible for any teratogenic effects by looking at the CHKV outbreak on the island of Grenada.
    65% of the people on the island of Grenada, with a population of 101,000 people,  have been infected with CHKV. In the study women that were infected during pregnancy (n= 156) were tracked and then their babies tested for a variety of birth defects.  The study, which is still not complete showed that while babies did not have significantly more microcephaly as did babies with Zika infection, but there was a significantly amount more neonatal complications in infected mothers  (26% complications) than those that were not infected with CHKV (7% complications).
    While the study is still not complete and has a small sample size it shows that there may be birth complications due to CHKV infection that need to be studied more.

I was cured 8 months ago, i suffered from HIV for 13 yrs but with the help of Dr.Nana herbal medicine, i was cured within few weeks of drinking the herbs he sent to me through courier delivery service. This same doctor also cured my Aunty from herpes, as soon as i heard she had herpes, i quickly refer her to Dr.Nana and she was cured too after drinking his herbs.I have referred more than 15 persons to Dr.Nana and they were all cured from their various illness.

I am so Happy to write this article in here, i am here to explore blogs and forum about the wonderful and most safe cure for HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS . I was positive to the deadly Virus called HERPES and i lost hope because i was rejected even by my closet friends. i searched online to know and inquire about cure for HERPES and i saw Dr Isibor testimony online on how he was cured so many persons from Herpes Disease so i decided to contact the great herbalist because i know that nature has the power to heal everything. i contacted him to know how he can help me and he told me never to worry that he will help me with the natural herbs from God! after 3 days of contacting him, he told me that the cure has been ready and he sent it to me via DHL and it got to me after 14 days! i used the medicine as he instructed me (MORNING and EVENING) and i was cured! its really like a dream but i'm so happy! that’s the reason i decided to also add more comment of Him so that more can be saved just like me! and if you need his help,contact his email:drisiborspellhome@gmail.com or his cell number:+2348107855231, thank you  Dr isibor.
