Info
Osmundaria obtusiloba is a fairly widespread red alga that produces oxygen in the sea produces oxygen through photosynthesis and is available to herbivorous marine available to herbivorous marine animals as a food plant.
Digression:
The causative agent of the Zika virus was discovered in 1947 in a monkey from the identified in a monkey from the Zika forest in Uganda, Africa has spread almost worldwide.
There is a particular risk of infection in Africa, Asia,Caribbean, Central America, North America, Pacific Islands, South America and Europe.
In most cases, the Zika virus is transmitted by bites from mosquitoes of the Aedes genus, in some cases the virus is also transmitted sexually by men.
The most common symptoms are skin rash, headache, joint and muscle pain muscle pain, inflammation of the conjunctiva and fever.
In a large proportion of infections, those affected have no symptoms (asymptomatic course).
Once an infection has been contracted, it is likely to result in lifelong immunity.
In the study “Antiviral effect of the seaweed Osmundaria obtusiloba against the Zika virus”, the results show that the extract from Osmundaria obtusiloba significantly inhibits the viral replication of the Zika virus when the cells are treated with different concentrations of the extract.
Another extremely important argument for protecting our oceans and and their inhabitants much more intensively and permanently.
