at night about zika? >> that is assuming a good sleep at night. i go to sleep at night. the thing about this that is disturbing and we have said it many times is that it is the dichotomy of the disease. if you were to put aside pregnant women, it is really a relatively mild disease. 80% of that sentence and 20% get symptoms that are mild. the virus last in the body for 70's and is gone. last in the seamen for variable periods of time. on the left and you have a relatively mild disease that when a woman gets infected during pregnancy it could be absolutely devastating to her and her fetus. that is an unusual situation, particularly when you are dealing with a mosquito borne infection. in some respects, part of it is the similar to what we have seen in the 1960's with rubella. as a disease it was relatively mild. if children can infected before infected, iti got took to get infected, you would hope that all the young women will get infected so when they are older, it protects them. what happened is that som

, effective zika response. but first we'll hear from someone who has been at the front lines of the crisis, turn 11. as the principal deputy assistant secretary for health at the department of health and human services, dr. mullen is to coordinate the administration's response to zika at home and around the globe, and we are thrilled to hear her insights this afternoon. please join me in welcoming dr. mullen. [applause] >> good afternoon. i would like to thank you for inviting me to be a part of this important event. and thank you for the introduction. i especially appreciate this convening, because we're discussing an ever important topic, ensuring access to maternal and reproductive health care at a critical time, zika outbreak. the disease, characterized by transmission by both mosquitoes and sex, as associated potentially severe birth outcomes. speaking from my new almost seven month perch as a federal official i want to share that as a physician and public health practitioner, i'm speaking to you from both

zika background. at this point in the attention that has been paid to zika, probably if not all of you are familiar with it. i will go through it rapidly because there are also points at 112 underscore. -- that i want to underscore. the important one is a second bullet. the family, , why is that important? we have considerable experience over the years with very closely-related fire us of the same family and genus. in fact we have successfully developed vaccines to more than one of these. fourth the issue of the vaccine for the virus is not new territory to us. the other issue is that it is transmitted by the 1980's mosquito. let's take a little bit of the history. you must first recognize in 1947 uganda, first of recognize did not mean it evolved at that point. as he got was probably around for a long time before that. it was only recognized that. the first human cases were reported in nigeria in 19 52. the mystery has not completely unfolded. is what happened to zika and that decade and south easter

zika is really dangerous or zika's not going to impact me at all. there is some desire to learn more. been requests we know of from community health workers who have the ability to reach out to the community in a culturally competent way but they don't have the access to that training to learn more about the zika and what they can do. is calling the families in central america and trying to find out what they know so they know what to do here in the united states particularly in the endemic areas. there has been cuts to title 10 clinics but we have not seen the aca fully realized. in states where we are focused in like florida and texas, medicaid expansion is not happen there and it's so important so folks can have access to care if the clinic is open. going on the impact on how there is limited access, limited education, and limited resources and that is impacting our community. we have a lot to do. >> thank you for that. you mentioned florida which has been in the media and in the news of a past couple of days, particularly for new cases of locall

most recently we had zika. having said that, i will tell you a bit about zika. it is divided up into four parts . at this point in the attention that is been paid to zika, most are familiar with it. i will go through rapidly. there are some point i want to underscore that may not have been underscored the past. sica is a single strand of rna. we have considerable experience with closely related viruses of the same family and genus. in fact, we have successfully developed vaccines to more than one of these. the issue of a vaccine for the virus is not completely new territory for us. the other issue is that it is a transmitted primarily by the mosquito. let's take a look at the history. you are aware of it. it was first recognized in 1947 in the zika forest of uganda. first recognized does not mean it evolved at that point. it did not all of a sudden start zika. it was probably around for a really long time before that it was only recognize that. the first human cases were reported in need of geary a -- in nigeria. the measure that has not completely unfolded is w

nor is there one for the zika virus. that is what makes prevention of zika in the first place so critical. unexpected health issues like zika can present tremendous challenges for already disadvantaged communities and sink families deeper into poverty. this is a vicious cycle as many of these committees living conditions that can compound zika transmission including lack of access to shelter or air-conditioning, living or working near standing water, and inadequate health insurance coverage. these families cannot afford to wait any longer for congress to take action on zika. the good the good news is we can prevent zika transmission. in zika response efforts, we can help ensure access to contraception, family planning, and maternal health care for women at risk. for families of children born with microcephaly, we can ensure access to quality pediatric care and social support services. and we can support research and development for a vaccine an adequate testing. in order to do all of this, we need congress to abandon pol

first the zika background. many people right now because of the public attention that has been put to zika. i show you this not to hit you with microbiological names but to point out one thing. this is a virus that is a genus virus. why is that important? is important because these are the viruses that we have a lot of experience with. the viruses include dinghy, yellow fever japanese encephalitis and west nile virus. it's bad news that we have a new one and it's good news that not only do we have the experience of viruses and investigators working on the viruses but because we have made successful vaccines against the viruses and i will get back to that in a minute. i have a fair amount of confidence that we will have a vaccine for zika, when is really the issue. the other thing that is transmitted by mosquito that is copious in the americas, that's critical. this didn't happen by accident. the setting was made. the mode of transit -- transmission is predominantly bascue device that you heard tom friedman and

most recently we had zika. having said that, i will tell you a bit about zika. it is divided up into four parts . attentionint in the that is been paid to zika, most are familiar with it. i will go through rapidly. there are some point i want to underscore that may ha

as zika virus is.so, i wish you could speak about the best way to eliminate mosquitoes around your yard, and the fact that generally mosquitoes, once they're born, they don't fly 50-mile miles. anyway tend to stay in a smallish area. so i was wondering if you can speak about that. >> host: thank you, caller. >> guest: okay. i really don't agree that there is any equality between the risk from pesticides and the risk from this virus. we know this virus destroys babies. pesticides -- people have an irrational fear of pesticides. in this case -- pesticides aren't the whole answer. the way to eliminate -- we talk about one mosquito here, the adisease aegypti. it loves to bite humans and doesn't bite periods or deer or horses the way some mosquitoes do it likes to live in human gardens, lay eggs in relatively clean water, like in a bird bath, swimming pool, your rain gutters if you have rain in them. like in your best water dish if it isn't cleaned regularly. theft the kind of places. they get inside your h

we know from some data in zika that that zika can directly attack brain cells, the neurons in the brain. one of the real fears and a clear unknown is that even an infected woman with a normal baby that does not show symptoms of microcephaly we , don't know that that virus is not going to continue to attack the brain cells of the newborn after birth. we have no idea what those developmental abnormalities may or may not be. what the risks are and what the percentage will be. one of the most important aspects of everything we do is the registry the cdc has created to follow these children after birth to see what happens to them down the line. jamila: thank you for that. i want to shift things and talk about the the title x family planning program which claire talked about. it is a huge part of four organization and the work you do. as important as the title x program is in terms of family planning for women, it's also been a big topic on the hill. as well as in the media in terms of making sure that women have access to family planning through title x clinics. can you talk more about how i

make no mistake, we have the tools to quite zika. what we lack is a congress with the political courage to do right by the american people. today you will hear from a distinguished panel of public health experts and advocates who are fighting to ensure that women and families have access to the services they need in the face of zika. their discussion will examine our efforts to combat this crisis and why women's health care must be an integral part of any effective zika response. first we will hear from someone who has been at the front lines of the crisis, dr. jewell mullen as the principal deputy secretary for health at the department of health and human services, dr. mullen has helped coordinate the administration's response to zika at home and around the globe. we are thrilled to hear her and site this afternoon. please join me in welcoming dr. mullen.

a man can have zika virus without any symptoms. but it's also clear that some people have zika and they're not able to transmitted sexually. you can't really run tests on everybody who is having sex with pregnant women in this country.d we have test, they're not perfect but they're pretty good. there is a a window period in which any blood test will missai the infection because it has not multiplied enough times for it to be detectable. one things the government does or the blood bank industry does, when you know an area has the confections, they stop accepting new blood from that area. e' kind ofgen some pathogen inactivity that can kill the virus in the blood.th you can render the blood safe even if it is infected with zika. it's unusual technology but it is used for some things. >> host: nextst: up, christine n the independent line. go ahead. >> caller: , i was listening and i heard you were a science reporter. i wondered if you have a particular science backgrounddh. also, mosquitoes are the transmission source of the zika, wha

this is considered ground zero for the zika virus in miami. talking about 16 local transmissions and nearly all of them have happened in this neighborhood. when it comes to other states, they can probably learn from florida health officials in terms of what they're doing to combat the virus. take a look. as florida health crews work to rid the state of zika inspected mosquitos, other parts of the nation are nervously waiting. it is the height of mosquito season and cities like new orleans with hot, muggy conditions are particularly vulnerable. >> our mentality should not be if we will face a locally transmitted case but rather when. it is likely that we'll have one. >> with similar climates, mississippi, alabama, georgia, and texas have all crafted plans to combat zika. the man goes even farther. this map shows all the states at risk with yellow being low risk and red being a high rick. health officials say they don't expect widespread outbreaks. >> we do expect to see more cases. >> with florida, the only case thus far off the local transmiss

news regarding the zika virus. officials from the world health organization say so far there have been no confirmed cases of the illness in spectators, athletes or anyone associated with the rio olympics. as the virus has a one-week incubation period it is possible a few cases my occur. avoid getting bitten mosquitoes at home and also practice safe sex in order to lower the risk of becoming infected. zika has spread to 53 countries since the beginning of last year. >>> our very own team 12 returned from rio earlier this week. >> look at who stop by the station this afternoon. you will be seeing vanessa very soon after she takes a much- deserved vacation after working so hard for so long in >> what were your favorite moments from the summer olympics? today is the final day counting down the top 20 rio moments. >> number 4, marta caroli's reaction. this was the last olympics for her since 198696. when the girls revealed their team is the final five she started to weep. known for her stern behavior, scored a perfect t

same is true of zika. zika is an underappreciated fire us. because it -- and underappreciated virus. because it can cause these defects. i have been talking to a lot of people who kill mosquitoes for a living. they are saying there is a limit to what we can do with chemicals. people want to have an insecticide that takes care of all of the problems, that this is a mosquito that lives in your backyard. and youave flowerpots have reservoirs of water underneath your flowerpots, dump them out. look in your yard, are there tires? paddling pools, whatever it is. you can contribute to eliminating the breeding grounds for this mosquito in europe and backyard. experts are saying we cannot do this alone. we need partnership with people. i agree. we need to do better and we need to do it together. host: we are talking to julie. have regional lines for our viewers for this segment. eastern and central can call (202) 748-8000. those in mountain pacific can call (202) 748-8001. julie, there have been some clinical trials underway according to the national

confirms have cases of zika.'s not locally acquired, but that's people who have been to an area where zika is prevalent. they've acquired the virus and come back to the united states. in florida just to give you an idea. there's, for instance, in miami date county 110 cases of zika. but the entire state of florida as of today, more than 21 cases of zika being locally acquired. so let's take a look at the republicans who are in some cases joining with hillary clinton. you have the mayor of miami date county. he was with hillary clinton yesterday when she says zika poses serious severe birth defects and called it the canary in the coal mine urging congress ask for $1.9 billion in spending. again, clinton in florida playing the zika issue, requesting funding. mr. trump has said rick scott and the florida health officials have it under control, and it's best left up to them. liz: by the way, we did put in a couple of calls to the trump campaign. we're still waiting on a answer about it. but we did give them that oppo

while zika-carrying mosquitos only found in the u.s. in a small north miami neighborhood, everyone needs to be cautious especially in their backyards to prevent mosquitos not known to transmit zika in our area but could be capable of it from breeding. that means getting rid of standing water everywhere from trash cans to lids. >> it could be in a bottle cap turned ump side down with a little bit of water in it -- little bit of water in it. >> it could be old tires. >> reporter: it's not just standing water that attracts mosquitos but also grass, weeds and vines. they use these areas to rest on hot days so keep everything trimmed. do you do anything to stay safe from mosquitos at home? >> you know, we're big proponents of just spraying. >> reporter: again no mosquitos in the new york area found to carry zika. not advised now, but if it comes to it there are mosquito fo always read the labels. mosquitos don't travel far, only 400 feet from where they're born. staying vigilant can keep them away. in white plains, new york, christine sloan,

but that's not stopping unscrupulous bug spray companies from preying on zika related fears. julie watts has details on what works and what doesn't. >> zika virus protection showing the baby with the little wristband. that's about as low as you can go. >> reporter: new york's attorney general is cracking down sending cease and desist letters to seven companies accused of deceptively marketing ineffective zika protective prove products. patches and ultrasonic pest repellents, many now removed from amazon. >> some of the marketing campaigns aimed at people's desire to protect their children are absolutely shameless. >> reporter: and while those products have been proven ineffective, there are plenty of others like antizika condoms, that the cdc says lacks evidence they are any more effective than non-zika alternatives. another concern, specifically in areas with zika infected mosquitos, natural alternatives. >> they didn't repel the kind of mosquito that carries the zika virus. >> reporter: consumer reports put a variety of repellents to the test and like the cdc, recommend one

nor is there one for the zika virus.t is what makes prevention of zika in the first place so critical. unexpected health issues like zika can present tremendous challenges for already disadvantaged communities and sink families deeper into poverty. this is a vicious cycle as many of these committees living -- lit and -- live in conditions that can compound zika transmission including lack of access to shelter or air-conditioning, living or working near standing water, and inadequate health insurance coverage. these families cannot afford to wait any longer for congress to take action on zika. the good news is we can prevent zika transmission. in zika response efforts we can help ensure access to contraception, family planning, and maternal health care for women at risk. for families of children born with microcephaly, we can ensure access to quality pediatric care and social support services. and we can support research and development for a vaccine an d adequate testing. in order to do all of this, we need congress to a

zika is present in almost every part of puerto rico. we have the local transmissions in florida and there will be more. congress is on a summer recess. a lot of folks talk about protecting i want to urge the american people to call members of congress and tell them to do their job. with that, i'm going to take some questions and start with someone who just assume the most powerful office in the land, reuters. >> as the islamic state moves in territory you have said it is becoming a more traditional terrorist group. are you satisfied we have shifted strategy sufficiently to address that change? even your comments about donald trump, are you concerned he will be receiving secy >> i'm never satisfied with our response. if you are satisfied that means the problem is solved and it is not. we spent a couple hours meeting with my folks to look at what more can be done. it is not sufficient but it is necessary. so long as they have those bases they can use propaganda to suggest somehow there is some caliphate being born. that can insinuate itse
