scientists are purposely infecting mosquitoes with zika virus.

Viruses like Dengue, Ebola, Chikungunya and now Zika are all transmitted by mosquitoes and are intentionally brought to the Florida Medical Entomological Laboratory near Vero Beach, all in the name of science.
The lab obtained a strain of the Zika-virus from Puerto Rico, which was supplied by the CDC.
Alto said, “We propagate Zika virus and other viruses in tissue culture, so we allow cells that are susceptible to the infection, we mix that with the blood, and then we administer infectious blood meals to the mosquitoes using an artificial membrane feeding system that works very well. We are deliberately infecting the mosquitoes.”
the Ebola Virus is handled in a level four, which is the most secure lab. “It’s sealed extremely tight, and we have multiple doors to go through that are keypad entry to get in there,” Alto said.
