Funny answer Bob! Alm - 6-18-2017 at 12:36 PM
Yes, in "Baja" too. Not to mention Baja Sur.
In BOLA there used to be none, - no breeding grounds, no rain, no shallow lagunas. After the hurricane in 2014 with mucho rain and floods, there were
some cases - not sure it was Zika or Chikungunya, symptoms are very similar. Local CDC came in, sprayed everything with poison and it was gone. I
doubt it originated from the US in this instance. mtgoat666 - 6-18-2017 at 12:54 PM
Yes.
But dengue is what you are more likely to get. BajaBlanca - 6-18-2017 at 01:24 PM
One of my scholarship students in La Paz had dengue last year. Not too serious a case but it sent her right to bed for a couple weeks.Jack Swords - 6-18-2017 at 03:04 PM
The mosquito capable of carrying Zika virus, however, is found in some parts of CA.rhintransit - 6-19-2017 at 11:09 AM
have been a number of cases of Chikungunya in La Paz, I know one person who was hospitalized with this. Zika, haven't heard confirmed, but, well, why
not???
agree Dengue much more likely. rhintransit - 6-19-2017 at 11:09 AM

Here in the Boreal Forest area we have our share of the mosquitoes. Many varieties hatching due to the cool wet May and June weather. Have purchased
lavender plants. Two in an 8 X 12 greenhouse loaded with tomato plants and the critters are gone. One by the back door and one in the screened area on
the deck. Appears to provide the necessary, whatever it is, to deter the mossies.
At least this year the cool wet weather has prevented the escalation of forest fires that forced the evacuation of 80,000 people from Fort McMurray
last year.Alm - 6-19-2017 at 05:02 PM
PNW weather this summer is unbelievable. Temps in upper 50s - in June - with rain "at least" twice a week, it's been going like this since March or
April. Then it will suddenly switch to all-dry and temps in upper 80s, with forest fires. This is not a normal pattern for this area, things are
sure changing on the planet.Sweetwater - 6-19-2017 at 11:44 PM
Zika is alive and well with the current heat wave.
You're more likely to engage with influenza in the general population.
Mosquitoes come and go based on standing water and other vectors.
Livestock are that risk factor.
Really encouraging that humans don't influence the climate.
