The religion originated from India between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE (History.com Editors). Following the Coronavirus crisis, many Buddhist rituals were stopped to help combat the pandemic. However, considering that most of the restrictions have been eased, some of these rituals are being performed both in temples and homes.

            ZIKA VIRUS Students name Institution Affiliation     Zika virus is a disease mainly caused by Aedes mosquitoes bites mostly in tropical and subtropical regions (Benelli,& Romano, 2017). Zika’s first outbreak was recorded on the island of Yap and later spread in French Polynesia. More cases and transmission soon followed globally, with more than 88 countries reporting mosquito-transmitted virus cases. This discussion will look at how body defenses and measures people can take to avoid contracting the virus. Firstly, its symptoms include; rash, headaches, joint/muscle pain, fever, and brain damage. Its leading cause of transmission is mosquito bites, although it can also be transmitted through sexual intercourse, blood transfusion, and pregnancy. However, the body has some defenses mechanism that helps combat the virus through a protein immune cell CD4 (Petersen, 2016). The cell is essential in protecting infected people with the zika virus against neurological diseases since there is no known treatment. CD4 cells protect replication in the nervous system by preventing neurological disorders. One way is by preventing mosquito bites, especially to expectant…
