World Health Organisation (WHO) on 1 February 2016 declared Public Health Emergency of International Concern over the explosive spread of the mosquito-borne Zika virus. Incidentally, the declaration came just two weeks after the end of Ebola outbreak in West Africa that killed around 11000 people in the region.
Against this backdrop, it is pertinent to understand the nature of the Zika virus, its spread and ways to mitigate its potential outbreak.
Where does Zika virus occur?
Zika virus occurs in tropical areas with large mosquito populations and is known to circulate in Africa, the Americas, Southern Asia and Western Pacific. The virus was discovered in 1947, but for many years only sporadic human cases were detected in Africa and Southern Asia.
In 2007, the first documented outbreak of Zika virus disease occurred in the Pacific. Since 2013, cases and outbreaks of the disease have been reported from the Western Pacific, the Americas and Africa.
Given the expansion of environments where mosquitoes can live and breed, facilitated by urbanisation and globalisation, there is potential for major urban epidemics of Zika virus disease to occur globally.
How do people catch Zika virus?
People catch Zika virus by being bitten by an infected Aedes mosquito - the same type of mosquito that spreads dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever.
Where can the Aedes mosquito survive?
There are 2 types of Aedes mosquito capable of transmitting the Zika virus - Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.
In most cases, Zika spreads through the Aedes aegypti mosquito in tropical and subtropical regions. The Aedes aegypti mosquito does not survive in cooler climate temperatures.
The Aedes albopictus mosquito can also transmit the virus. This mosquito can hibernate and survive cooler temperature regions.
Can the Aedes mosquito travel from country to country and region to region?
The Aedes mosquito is a weak flyer; it cannot fly more than 400 meters. But it may inadvertently be transported by humans from one place to another, for example in the back of the car and plants.
What are the symptoms of Zika virus disease?
Zika virus usually causes mild illness; with symptoms appearing a few days after a person is bitten by an infected mosquito.
Most people with Zika virus disease will get a slight fever and rash. Others may also get conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, and feel tired. The symptoms usually finish in 2 to 7 days.
What might be the potential complications of Zika virus?
Because no large outbreaks of Zika virus were recorded before 2007, little is currently known about the complications of the disease.
During the first outbreak of Zika from 2013 - 2014 in French Polynesia, which also coincided with an ongoing outbreak of dengue, national health authorities reported an unusual increase in Guillain-Barré syndrome.
A similar observation of increased Guillain-Barré syndrome was also made in 2015 in the context of the first Zika virus outbreak in Brazil.
In 2015, local health authorities in Brazil also observed an increase inbabies born with microcephaly at the same time of an outbreak of Zika virus.
Health authorities and agencies are now investigating the potential connection between microcephaly and Zika virus, in addition to other possible causes.
However more investigation and research is needed before we will be able to better understand any possible link.
What is Guillain-Barré syndrome?
It is a condition in which the body's immune system attacks part of the nervous system. It can be caused by a number of viruses and can affect people of any age. Exactly what triggers the syndrome is not known.
The main symptoms include muscular weakness and tingling in the arms and legs. Severe complications can occur if the respiratory muscles are affected, requiring hospitalisation.
What is microcephaly?
It is a rare condition where a baby has an abnormally small head. This is due to abnormal brain development of the baby in the womb or during infancy. Babies and children with microcephaly often have challenges with their brain development as they grow older.
Microcephaly can be caused by a variety of environmental and genetic factors such as Downs syndrome, exposure to drugs, alcohol or other toxins in the womb and rubella infection during pregnancy.
Can El Niňo have an effect on Zika?
The Aedes aegypti mosquito breeds in standing water. Severe drought, flooding, heavy rains and temperature rises are all known effects of El Nio-a warming of the central to eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.
An increase in mosquitos can be expected due to expanding and favourable breeding sites.
What is the situation in India?
So far there were no reported incidents of the virus in India. However, to contain its transmission the Union Government on 29 January 2016 formed a technical expert group to suggest measures to deal with the virus.
How is Zika virus disease diagnosed?
For most people diagnosed with Zika virus disease, diagnosis is based on their symptoms and recent history like mosquito bites or travel to an area where Zika virus is known to be present. A laboratory can confirm the diagnosis by blood tests.
How is Zika virus disease treated?
The symptoms of Zika virus disease can be treated with common pain and fever medicines, rest and plenty of water. If symptoms worsen, people should seek medical advice. There is currently no cure or vaccine for the disease itself.
How to protect oneself from the virus?
The best protection from Zika virus is preventing mosquito bites. Preventing mosquito bites will protect people from Zika virus, as well as other diseases that are transmitted by mosquitoes such as dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever.

Today's article :- ODD-EVEN RULE
Delhi is the most polluted city in the world according to recent WHO report. Classified as the world's fifth megacity, it has a population of 25.8 million, which continues to grow. With this growth, according to a study, the number of road vehicles would increase from 4.7 million in 2010 to nearly 26 million by 2030. The total energy consumption in Delhi has risen 57 per cent from 2001 to 2011.
A new study on air pollution in Delhi by a team of researchers led by the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom has found the city suffers from a toxic blend of geography (landlocked megacity), growth, poor energy sources and unfavourable weather that boost its dangerously high levels of air pollution.
What is Odd-Even Rule?
In view of the above threats and its devastating effects, Delhi Government started Odd -Even traffic policy on a pilot basis for 15 days starting from 1 January 2016. This measure was enforced to control vehicular pollution that contributes to heavy smog and bad air quality in the national capital.
According to this rule, on even dates, only cars with license plates ending with an even number were allowed on city roads, and on odd dates, cars with license plates ending with an odd number were allowed.
The rule was effective between Monday-Saturday between 8 AM to 8 PM. A fine of 2000 rupees was charged for non-compliance.
Further exemptions from this rule were applied to all CNG, electric and hybrid vehicles, two wheelers, women drivers, women drivers carrying children below 12 years of age, VIP vehicles, emergency vehicles like ambulance, fire, etc,
Efforts taken at various levels for success of odd even rule
- Delhi government ran more buses on the street for ensuring a seamless, hassle-free experience for every day commuters. It ran 3000 extra buses on capital's road.
- Twitter helped Delhiites search information about nearest bus and metro stations simply by using the hashtag #pollutionfreeDelhi and entering the origin and destination.
- Ola, Uber started offering car pooling services, which came in handy for Delhiites during odd-even days. In fact, Ola's 'CarPool' feature allowed residents in Delhi-NCR to pool rides using their private cars through Ola's app.
- Even Delhi Metro ramped up its services during the 15-day trial period of the rule and ran 198 trains to make an additional 365 trips every day.
- A website for car pooling was developed, www.odd-even.com by a 13-year old student of Amity International School.
The Delhi government plans to bring back the odd-even exercise not once but twice this year. The second phase, likely in April-May 2016, may do away with exemptions for women while the third, in October 2016 may include two wheelers in the scheme.
Success of odd even rule
- There was less congestion on Delhi roads owing to the scheme. This in turn shielded people from direct exposure to pollutants, especially in and around areas of high car density such as traffic junctions.
- Reduction in the volume of cars was simultaneously bringing down levels of gaseous pollutants like oxides of nitrogen, sulphur dioxide and black carbon, which is a mixture of road dust and vehicle fumes.
- According to Delhi Government, the first set of data collected with its mobile air quality sampling method, after the odd-even policy came into effect, is "encouraging". Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) says, on an average, PM 2.5 hovered around 250 micrograms per cubic metre in all locations and ranged between 109-226 micrograms per cubic metre. PM 10 was in the range of 149-503 micrograms per cubic metre, according to data from the mobile machines.
Problems with the scheme
- Autos and taxis started fleecing people and charging higher fares thus harassing the public.
- According to the study by IIT Kanpur, vehicles are number four in the hierarchy of pollution sources, accounting for 20 percent of PM 2.5 and 9 percent of PM 10 concentrations in Delhi's air. Road dust is the city's biggest polluter, accounting for 38 percent of PM 2.5 and 56 percent of PM 10 concentrations. Two wheelers, which are exempt from the odd-even rule, account for 33 percent of all PM10 and PM 2.5 emissions by vehicles.
Having said the success and problems with the scheme, the fact remains that the per capita incomes of Delhi's citizens are rising steadily. It stands now around 2.4 lakh per annum which is three times the national average. This point toward increasing middle class and their aspiration. Therefore, efforts are also needed at the level of educating public and spreading awareness about the benefits of using public transportation.
Further only dealing with road space rationing policy would not solve the problems solely. It has to be supported with the effective transportation policy as well.
However, irrespective of whether the odd-even scheme was effective or not, it has surely been influential not just in Delhi but all over India as well. Thus, the trial period of the odd-scheme had an impact on the nation in more ways than one.
Startup India :-
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced the 'Startup India, Standup India' initiative in his Independence Day address last year. On Saturday, PM Modi unveiled the action plan for startups in the country. He announced a self-certification scheme in respect of nine labour and environment laws and said there will be no inspection during the first three years of launch of the venture. Addressing the first conference of start-up entrepreneurs, Modi announced an action plan to boost such ventures which are seen as key to employment generation and wealth creation.
Here are the top takeaways from the prime minister's speech.
1. Compliance regime based on self certification
The objective of compliance regime based on self certification is to reduce the regulatory burden on startups. This self-certification will apply to laws like payment of gratuity, contract labour, employees provident fund, water and air pollution acts.
2. Startup India hub
A startup India hub will be created as a single point of contact for the entire startup ecosystem to enable knowledge exchange and access to funding.
3. Simplifying the startup process
A startup will be to able to set up by just filling up a short form through a mobile app and online portal. A mobile app will be launched on April 1 through which startups can be registered in a day. There will also be a portal for clearances, approvals and registrations
4. Patent protection
The government is also working on a legal support for fast-tracking patent examination at lower costs. It will promote awareness and adoption of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) by startups and help them protect and commercialise IPRs.
5. Funds of funds with a corpus of Rs 10,000 crore
In order to provide funding support to startups, the government will set up a fund with an initial corpus of Rs 2,500 crore and a total corpus of Rs 10,000 crore over four years. The fund would be managed by private professionals drawn from the industry while LIC will be a co-investor in the fund. The credit guarantee fund for start-ups would help flow of venture debt from the banking system to start-ups by standing guarantee against risks.
6. Credit Guarantee Fund
A National Credit Guarantee Trust Company is being envisaged with a budgetary allocation of Rs 500 crore per year for the next four years.
7. Exemption from Capital Gains Tax
Currently, investments by venture capital funds in startups are exempt from this law. Now, the same is being extended to investments made by incubators in startups.
8. Tax exemption for startups
Income tax exemption to startups announced for three years
9. Tax exemption on investments above Fair Market Value
10. Startup fests
Innovation core programs for students in 5 lakh schools. There will also be an annual incubator grand challenge to create world class incubators
