Description
Summary:Beside some vector-borne diseases like Bluetongue Disease and some explosive epidemics like Lumpy Skin Diseases and African Swine Fever on animals; particular and permanent interest in public health in Montenegro are on Dengue (DENV), Chikungunya (CHIKV), West Nile Virus (WNV) and Leishmania; not just in Montenegro but also in other Southeast Europe countries. West Nile Virus (WNV) (Encephalitis Nili occidentalis) infection is a zoonosis generally transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes, mainly of the Culex genus (rarely transmission occurs through blood transfusion or organ transplantations). [...]important fact for virus detection is that infection develops immunity in human's body. Elderly, over 50 years, mainly male and immuno-compromised persons are at particular risk of severe symptoms (Lim et al., 2011): strong headache, high temperature, neck stiffness, high sensitivity on light, confusion, loss of consciousness, paralysis, coma and death.
