Rospotrebnadzor informed Russians about the situation with West Nile fever in Russia.
The department recorded several cases of the dangerous disease during the year.
Rospotrebnadzor shared this information on its official website.
As specified in the publication, the department’s specialists are constantly monitoring and following the situation related to the dangerous disease.
Rospotrebnadzor reminded that West Nile fever is transmitted by blood-sucking insects. Most often, mosquitoes are carriers.
The disease is most common in countries with hot climates. Therefore, there is a chance of getting it in the southern regions of Russia as well.
According to statistics from Rospotrebnadzor, several cases of the disease have been recorded in Russia, and most of them are imported.
However, the department reminded about measures to prevent fever, which include the use of repellents and fumigators, as well as wearing closed clothing.
