After finishing my graduate studies at UC Davis, where I earned my MPVM and Ph.D. degrees, I decided to make a difference in the world.
This led me to visit places like American Samoa and Puerto Rico.
I continued to do my research on human viral diseases of concern.
In layman’s terms, these are diseases that have been causing (or have the potential) pain and suffering of people.
Sad to say, many of these are challenging to treat and prevent.
It takes a lot of effort to finally control them.
An example of this is the Zika virus.
Symptoms observed include joint and muscle pains, reddish eyes, headaches, and fever.
The worst that may happen is when a pregnant woman gets infected.
There is a big chance that her baby will be born with a defect called microcephaly or other brain defects,
This virus is the nightmare of all parents!
The Zika virus threatened the success of the Rio Olympics in 2016!
I provided the programmatic support of pregnant women and infants on the Zika virus. Thankfully, it helped in the control and eradication of the virus in certain areas.
Besides the Zika virus, there are a lot of other disease-causing organisms out there.
They may be controlled by sanitation, hygiene, isolation of infected, etc.
One promising way of finally making them disappear is the development of vaccines that will prevent people from getting infected in the first place.
To date, a lot of these vaccines are in development for the prevention of any possible resurgence of the Zika virus and other diseases.
Vaccination against viral infection is one of the main ways to prevent the spread of deadly diseases globally.
There are also a lot of vaccines used to prevent infection in dogs and cats.
Make sure that your fur babies are protected from deadly diseases like Rabies.
