What is the West Nile virus and how do mosquitos spread it?
A HEALTHY mum has died of 'paralysing' West Nile virus in Spain after being bitten by a disease-ridden mosquito.The 86-year-old's son, Antonio Pineda, claimed she was in perfect health before a mosquito bit her.
"We will work tirelessly so that all administrations do everything possible, without skimping, against the virus and that there is a permanent service against mosquitoes." "Increased international travel from dengue-endemic countries will also increase the risk of imported cases, and inevitably also the risk of local outbreaks."The centre's most recent weekly update from last week showed four known West Nile virus cases in Greece in Thessaloniki, Lefkada, Larisa and Chalkidiki, two in Italy in Modena and Pordenone and one in Spain's Sevilla.
