Reports of suspected cases of Dengue fever in Italy are on the rise, with new cases being reported in various regions. The Ministry of Health has issued circulars to raise awareness about Dengue in airports, ports, and local medical facilities.
Dengue fever is a tropical infectious disease caused by the Dengue virus, transmitted to humans through mosquito bites. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, and a skin rash. In severe cases, it can lead to hemorrhagic fever.
Dr. Guido Marinoni, president of the Bergamo Medical Association, emphasizes the importance of larvicidal treatments to combat the spread of the disease. The veterinary profession is also involved in disseminating prevention measures to the public.
Dr. Stefano Faverzani, president of the Order of Veterinary Doctors in Bergamo, highlights the importance of using repellents and protective clothing to prevent mosquito bites in both humans and animals. Preventive measures are crucial in areas at risk of mosquito infestation.
It is essential for both humans and animals to follow the recommended prevention guidelines against Dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases. Public cooperation and awareness are key to reducing the spread of Dengue fever in Italy.
