The people in New South Wales and Victoria are being warned to stay very cautious this summer from the mosquitoes and any of the related buzz because the health authorities in the region have recently detected presence of a rare and a deadly mosquito in the environment of both the cities.
The health officials are claiming that the deadly virus has been released from the birds as they have found the deadly mosquito Murray Valley encephalitis in the flocks of chickens in southern and western regions of New South Wales. The mosquitoes are the common carriers of this deadly bird virus.
After finding evidences of the rare but deadly disease, the health authorities have immediately declared alert for the virus in all the nearby areas including the Murray River border town of Moama (situated across the water from the Victorian town of Echuca).
The deadly virus has become a big issue of worry in both the states urging people to stay extra cautious and adopt all the best precautions against mosquitoes as they can. Also, the health authorities have cleared some symptoms of the disease to the people including severe headache, fever, neck stiffness, drowsiness and confusion, to make them detect the affect of disease at the earliest possible.
The Director for NSW Health's Centre for Health Protection, Mr. Jeremy McAnulty, has also declared the recently founded disease as a rare one but dangerous too.
"Murray Valley encephalitis or MVE is a rare infection of humans in New South Wales. It's a virus and really appears or is evident in New South Wales only every couple of decades or so when there have been outbreaks historically. Between those outbreaks we rarely see it”, Dr. McAnulty said.
