Fauci in hospital .. What is West Nile virus?
West Nile virus, which affected Anthony Fauci, who was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the United States, is one of the most common diseases transmitted by mosquitoes in America, according to NBC News.
What virus is that?
The disease caused by this virus is called “sloth fever”, and was first discovered in Trinidad and Tobago in 1955. It is endemic in the Amazon basin, where scientists have discovered in Brazil it in sloths 5 years later.
However, this disease is not spread by sloths.
The symptoms of this disease are similar to those of other diseases spread by insects, such as dengue fever and Zika virus.
These symptoms include fever, chills, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, rash, and muscle and joint pain.
Although the disease is usually mild, some people can experience more severe symptoms, including meningitis and encephalitis.

Methods of prevention
In this regard, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the use of insect repellents registered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Control centers also advise putting “nets” on outside windows or door openings, to prevent insects from entering.
Another effective tip is to use electric fans when relaxing and sitting in home gardens, to prevent insects from getting close.
