the hope is that there may be some crossover to prevent this mosquito born illness Triple E as it's known from this vaccine trial Dr mat wanker is the regional medical director where the trials being conducted here at Ohio's velocity clinical research we're doing a Venezuela ecoin and sephtis study right now only site in the world doing this study the Venezuela virus is different from the Eastern virus because of where the mosquitoes are that carry it different virus you but all similar but the hope is that what works against one Dr wanker told me might work against others too we're not looking for efficacy you know we're not looking to see if it prevents uh Venezuelan equin and sephtis because obviously we don't have that here in this region but we we check to see if it creates an immune response you know in the bloodstream in the meantime until we have a vaccine what we really are looking for is people to take precautions stay inside when in your you know Peak biting times morning evening um if your mosquitoes are persistent use insect repellent if you're going to be outside also light colored clothing ensure that the screens in your home are secured and also doors and windows are shut so mosquitoes can't enter your home CDC says your best bet until we have a way to prevent it is to reduce mosquito bite risks about one in three who get this will die from it and many survivors have ongoing neurological iCal problems from breaking news to Feelgood stories local 12 has it all tap subscribe and hit the links to find out more
