Anyone going to Egypt is being warned about the symptoms and urged to take preventative action to try to avoid catching it
A warning has been issued after tourists were found to be returning from a popular holiday hotspot with a 17th century disease.
France reported 600 more cases of dengue fever, a potentially fatal infection spread by mosquitoes, since last month as health experts issue warnings over the tropical disease. Symptoms generally begin to crop up four to 10 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito, making it paramount that sufferers correctly identify the earliest warning signs.
“An increase in surveillance and testing for disease also plays a significant role in today’s analysis. By enhancing our monitoring capabilities, we can better track the spread of these diseases and implement timely interventions to mitigate their impact.” More than half of the world’s population could be at risk of catching diseases transmitted by mosquitoes such as malaria and dengue by the end of the century, scientists have warned.
