Health Advisor: Egypt Free of West Nile Virus
Dr. Mohamed Awad Taj El-Din, the Advisor to the President of the Republic for Health and Prevention Affairs and the former Minister of Health, stated that Egypt is completely free of West Nile Virus, despite the increasing cases in Italy and Europe due to climate changes, which create favorable conditions for the growth of mosquitoes that transmit the virus. He explained that the rise in cases worldwide follows climate variations, and that Egypt implements an excellent health monitoring system, with no cases reported so far. He also pointed out that 80-85% of cases worldwide are asymptomatic, and that the strain threatening the nervous system is the most dangerous. Furthermore, he mentioned that infections have been occurring in Africa since the 1950s.
