fauci: good to be with you.nando: sir, what would you say is the state of the zika at break here in the united states? is this something that worries you? dr. fauci: well, we have in the united states what we call travel-related cases, maybe people who have gone to the infected region in south america, central america, the caribbean, have gotten infected and came back to the united states and developed the illness in the united states. we call that travel related cases. we have over 400 of those already in the united states. what we don't have is local transition -- transmission, people who get infected in brazil or puerto rico and come to the continental united states and get bitten by a mosquito, and then that mosquito transmits it to someone in the continental united states who never left the united states. that's called local transition -- transmission. we have not seen that yet. we would not be surprised if we see that within a reasonable time. fernando: is this a disease you have some confidence we will be

fauci: i am concerned.ssue with this patient is that the bacteria that she has, that she has been infected with, was e. coli that possessed this 1articular gene, called mcr- which imparts on the bacteria the ability to resist an important drug. as you mentioned, she did not necessarily need the drug. her that. was sensitive to other drugs. the fact that this gene is in bacteria which is now in this country is important. when that happens, sooner or later you know that it will happen again. it may be associated with a bacteria that is resistant to everything else. resistant bacteria continues spreading, what does that mean in terms of future illnesses like pneumonia or other common infections? dr. fauci: i don't know if it will have a major impact on common infections, but it is something to be concerned about and we should do something about . the issue is if it spreads into the kinds of infections that are fundamentally resistant and need this drug, colistin. the drug in question the gene resists is a drug

fauci, let me begin with you. where do we stand with the virus?hat kind of spread are we looking for in the summer? >> we certainly have a significant number of travel-related cases right now in the continental united states. well over 500. and we have several hundred what we call locally transmitted cases in the caribbean in the sense of american territories. particularly puerto rico. so we already have zika in the united states. it's travel-related. the concern is we'll have local transmission. people getting infected in the united states but who have never left the continental united states. we fully expect that that will happen as we get to the more robust mosquito season in the next month or so. the question is, we need to be prepared for that. make sure that those local outbreaks don't become sustained and don't become disseminated. that's the reason why we need to have a very, very forceful preparation right now before that happens. >> i want to get to that. and that is the real threat. it starts to spread locally here at home. we know that

fauci will be joined by members from the world health organization.ast month from the white house, fauci said his agency does not have the funds it needs to fully fight the zika virus spread. today's briefing will likely address funding issues. w look and see these adorable kittens who were rescued. a body camera captured firefighters in california rescuing four kittens from a house fire. firefighters pulled each of them out from the ashes, crews then rinsed them off, dried them and then after the rescue, the mother kitten returned for her babies. very sweet. >>> 6:16 now. and we are doing a special waking up to wellness series this week. we kicked it off with melanoma monday yesterday. and today we're focusing on the nutrients that you need. >> we have the four things to know about vit rin amins and mis which we may not be getting enough of. for example, a healthy adult needs about 47 milligrams of potassium per day. it is good to your blood pressure, helping muscle cramps. you can get it in bananas and beets. and the second thing that we need, vitam

fauci, did he talk about whether he thinks the u.s. is doing enough? there's been a lot of debate. some people think we're too late responding and that we're not responding well enough. what did he say about that? i think probably the most compelling thing that he had to say was that it's possible that there may be a vaccine that comes out of trial maybe by the end of 2016, 2017 and then he said maybe 2018. the real challenge that he talked about is every community has its own mosquito control and of course, a mosquito doesn't between one government and the other. so in some parts of the country, you have a city that has a tremendous amount of effective mosquito control and the town just next door does not, and of course, the fear is that while we have not seen zika in mosquitos in the united states, we've seen it in people who have traveled primarily from south america and puerto rico and the fear is that the mosquito bites somebody who is carrying zika and they're unaware that they have it and then it gets into the mosquito population and that mosquito goes on and bites and draws

fauci, thank you for being with us.latest numbers that we have seen have over 500 people in the united states with zika but these are all travel-related cases or sexual transmission from people who have travelled. you caught a lot of headlines this week when you pointed out you wouldn't be surprised in the next month or so to see actual transmission cases in the continental united states. could you tell us where we stand right now and what the risk is. >> well, historically in the past, when we have dealt with infections that were similar to zika, infections like dengue and chikungunya, that are transmitted by exactly the same mosquito that transmits zika, we have ultimately, particularly during the robust mosquito season, have seen local transmitted cases. that's the reason i said and others have said that we're fairly certain -- you can never be 100%, but we're fairly certain that, as we get more mosquito activity, particularly in the southeastern part of the country along the gulf coast, florida and texas, that have

fauci says mosquitos in the u.s. could begin to carry the disease in the next month. you can prevent mosquitos simply on your way out of the door this morning. just dump out any water that may have collected in your yard toys or flower pots. experts say it only takes mosquitos seconds to lay thousands of eggs. this usually happens during the late fall and early winter, and then they wait for the weather to warm up. >> just get rid of any standing water. so just walk your yard is the best advice i can give you. >> now, we know many of you may have concerns about using chemicals to treat the bug problem. later on we'll walk you through natural ways to keep mosquitos away. >>> to presidential politics thousand. voters in washington state will have their say in the race for the repca 44 gop delegates are up for grabs unlike primary votes in most other states, washington's primary is an all mail-in contest. lack of experience is becoming an issue in an election season where so far voters have pushed political outsiders to the top. 6 out of 10 americans now say they have re

fauci, we just saw the president.he house republicans are arguing of money left over from the battle against the ebola virus. what is wrong with that argument? >> well, that is a spurious argument. we're not finished with ebola. we may not see it in the front pages of the nooup. the major outbreak is not there anymore. we have the danger of the cropping up of ebola. we have seen over the last several weeks, cases far down the pike transmitted. we can't take our eye off ebola. that would be robbing peter to pay paul. >> you're seeing some concern that this may be overhyped. 5,000 cases here in the u.s. what do you say to those that say the zika threat is also overhyped? >> when there's a new outbreak, you to go all in. because you don't know in the it's easy to get money and resources in the midst of something like ebola. when it's panicking the entire world. preparing for something so you can try to cut back on that, if you're successful, people say you overhyped the situation. and if you're not, they say, why weren't

anthony fauci of the nih says that's the problem in brazil.razil, it's going to be winter there when the olympics hit. the chances are you're going to see a lot less of zika there than people are worried about. >> but is the threat really to the pregnant women alone? i mean should the olympics be canceled, postponed, moved? because of all this? >> i absolutely do not think that the olympics should be canceled, postponed or moved. because 80% of the time when people get zika, they don't even get sick. there's been some reports of side effects to adults, this is not a huge problem for adults, it's a problem for pregnant women and unborn children. so people traveling to brazil, there should be a travel advisory, pregnant women or women of child-bearing years should be questioned at the airport. it would be an enormal travesty to cancel the games. the area where is zika is emerging, indonesia, australia, africa, it's already there. it's no going to spread there from brazil and here,i not going to spread from brazil, either. we've had dengue fever

fauci, head of the institute on infectious diseases and virology at n.i.h., who we turn to on so many occasions, has also said it. so every public health entity has validated that this is a serious public health crisis. but we can prevent its dire consequences. we can, through action, particularly related to mosquito control and working with pregnant women or women of child-bearing age, we can deal with this. this is not some unknown disease that suddenly would be arriving on our shores for which we would have no knowledge and no tools. these are basic public health tools related to controlling mosquito control and helping women of child-bearing age. if we refuse to act, this will be a self-inflicted wound on our own people. and the consequences are dire. for those who care about children, i'm sure we've already seen what has happened south of the border with little children being born with microcephaly. my gosh, it is heartbreaking. it is heartbreaking for that little child with the limited life expectancy and limited life opportunities, the responsibility that will come to the famil

anthony fauci, up, and we talked directly about this issue. and what we learned, mr. speaker, is that there was a request for additional money. and that the n.i.h. had some $600 million that was sit being in -- sitting in a fund from ebola that had not been completely used and a determination was made, including the gentleman from oklahoma, hal rogers, and nita lowey, that were engaged in a decision that said we'll allow the money to be switched over if you would like to do that, switch over and use that money for this specific event that we are now looking at. what happened is they used the money very quickly. they accelerated spending the money. that's fine. we want them to do what they need to do. some $600 million. as soon as that was known, the gentlewoman, mrs. lowey, the gentleman mr. rogers, the gentleman, mr. cole, went about and looking at a request to fill for the next five months hat would be some $1.2 billion that would be spent just this year remaining. we are in may. just until the end of september . the president asked $1st9 million for five years -- $

anna andrew fe fauci, who hs been at the four front of all of these dread things we've had in recent decades -- he was the leading advocate scientifically on the aids epidemic that we had, here's what he said.

it was anthony fauci at the n.i.h., at the center for infectious diseases, who said that if we wait for the appropriations process, we are not going to be able to do what we need to do to get ahead of this virus. on the bill that my colleague has introduced, let me be clear with all due respect to my colleague, it is a phony. it is a sham. it is nothing but trying to weaken the environmental regulations. it exempts, broad exemption of toxic pesticides from the cleann water act. this bill was introduced two or three years ago, has noct to do with zika. our states and municipalities today have the authority in which to be able to control the mosquito population and to-- and to deal with it. this will only pollute our rivers and contaminate our water. this bill that was passed today has nothing seriously to do with controlling the zika virus. it's rebabd branded. >> woodruff: congressman gibbs. >> the american mosquito control association has said we have had communities that are slow to get the preventative mosquito control programs up and going because of this court case that created thi

fauci, thank you so much for being here.th the world health organization's decision? >> i do agree with the w.h.o. you don't want to be calf lee, and don't want to underplay it, but based on this evidence. the real issue is affecting pregnant women. to get them to not go to the regions where there is local outbreaks, and in this case brazil. it's a relatively mild disease. it can be in certain circumstances sexually transmitted to people who go there and come back to live need to take the appropriation guidelines. >> well, your opinion seems to be at odds with 100 other promise didn't doctors and professionals. let me read to you what they believe. attend the game potentially acquire that strain and return home to place where is it can be endemic. basically half a million people will go there. they might be able to contract the virus and then go home. do these doctors have a point? >> with all due respect, i dug great. with one looks at the hemisphere put the olympics aside, before the olympics and after the olympics per yea

anthony fauci on all of that.igures to deal with this, hundreds of billions of dollars what are they going to do? is it coordinate efforts, what? >> well, the president asked for $1.9 billion for the effort of the united states, multiple departments, predominantly hhs, but also other agencies of the government to address this problem, this threat both in south america, the caribbean, puerto rico, which is a united states territory and the threats to the continental united states. so the total amount that was asked for is $1.9 billion, and that is the discussion going on in congress of how much, and if so, how are you going to do it? will it be emergency fund? will it be regular appropriation? that is the discussion currently going on. neil: i heard, maybe misspoken at a press conference they talked about a global effort on the part of every one even know not affected by zika virus to pitch in, hence the earlier figure i mentioned. are we behind the curve on this? are you worried that we are, what? >> i don't think

>> to quote tony fauci, never say never.the data we've seen so far the men that have sexually transmitted the zika to women have had the disease and have had other symptoms like bloody semen and so on. part of the reason the national institutes of health and the cdc want funding from congress is so we can do the research to provide better advice. the long they're money gets held up, the longer that research is going to take to get done. >> and there are many people frustrated about that and two of them were on my staff. not about congress funding the money but they're scared of the zika virus because they have destination weddings in the caribbean. they're wondering should we have our wedding there? because you have a lot of guests going. should they cancel? like how long should they wait? >> well, it's very likely that the zika virus will continue to be an issue in latin america, the caribbean, the gulf coast, probably for the next year or two at least, so for that period of time i would certainly be very cautious about hav

opportunity to get a full briefing from secretary burwell, cdc and director friedman as well as tony fauci from nih about the zika situation and i want to give the american people a quick update on where we are. as has been explained repeatedly but i want to emphasize, zika is not like ebola. this is not a human to human transmission with one exception to talk about. it's primarily transmitted through mosquitoes. any particular type of mosquito. but what we do know is that if you contract the zika, even if you don't appear to have any symptoms, it is possible for zika to cause significant birthday facts, including microcephaly, we are those gold casing is -- ahead of the if it is significantly smaller. we think there may be other neurological disorders the art because of the consequence of zika, and we don't know all of the potential effects. we do know that they are serious. right now we seem is little over 500 cases of the zika in the continental united states, and all appeared to be travel related, not mosquito transmitted. meaning somebody from the u.s. went down to an area that has zi
