"I just want to understand, how come no one is punished?" said the
diminutive, 68-year-old widow, who cares for six grandchildren and three
unemployed daughters and collects cans and bottles, along with garbage

"Female mosquitoes — which are the only ones that bite, by the way — need
to take a blood meal in order to reproduce. They can bite any
vertebrate — birds, pigs, even reptiles, and, of course, humans. And
since they are so mobile, they easily spread disease from one host to
another. They act as syringes for transmitting viruses. What is
happening now with the Zika virus, is what is happening among many other
arboviruses, like dengue, West Nile and chikungunya: They all seem to
be spreading westwards. And we’re undergoing a pandemic."
