What impact can West Nile Virus have on India and its neighbouring states before monsoon
Kerala sounds warning on West Nile Virus before monsoon; neighbouring states on guard
- The West Nile Virus can cause flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, and fatigue in individuals infected with the virus.
- In severe cases, it can lead to more serious symptoms such as confusion, muscle weakness, and paralysis, which can be life-threatening.
- Before the monsoon season in India and its neighbouring states, the risk of West Nile Virus transmission can increase due to stagnant water providing breeding grounds for mosquitoes that carry the virus.
- Health authorities in Kerala and neighbouring states are issuing warnings and implementing measures to control the mosquito population and prevent the spread of the virus.
- It is important for residents in these areas to take precautions such as using mosquito repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and removing standing water from around their homes to reduce the risk of exposure to the virus.
