 Do not say it is just a mosquito bite: This virus does not show symptoms in 80% of patients!


While the West Nile Virus (WNV), which has recently come to the fore again, causes loss of life in Greece, people think "What if I caught this virus?". Infectious Diseases Specialist Dr. Savaş Vural warned about the virus, which is transmitted to humans and some animal species from mosquito bites. Emphasizing that the virus can be prevented with some basic precautions, Dr. Vural also made recommendations to those who will go to regions where West Nile Virus is common.
