Any Risk of Dengue in Spain? (continued from a previous blog post)

The only virus carried by mosquitoes bite from an infected person. The increased presence of this mosquito, as noted by the British study published in the journal eLIFE, makes the risk of indigenous cases increase. "After the appearance of the first symptoms, those affected can spread the infection for about four or five days," says this newspaper Rogelio Lopez-Velez, head of the Unit of Tropical Medicine at the Ramon y Cajal Hospital in Madrid.

Though, I haven't heard of any such problems in the area of Torrevieja or in the south of Costa Blanca. In Spain, since 2006 they are detected annually about 30 imported cases, ie people who have traveled to countries where the disease is endemic and then developed the infection in our country. In addition, since 2004, first identified the tiger mosquito in Catalonia, their presence has increased localized in late 2010 in more than 170 municipalities of this community, in Alicante, Murcia and Mallorca. What is the danger that indigenous cases occur in Spain? According to the report Risk Assessment Introduction and Dengue virus circulation in Spain of the Ministry of Health, "the existence in certain areas of a competent vector for transmission, Ae. albopictus, it makes possible the emergence of indigenous cases in these areas. The introduction of the virus is possible throughout the country with the arrival of sporadic imported cases and maritime and air international trade endemic areas ".

Anyway, Spain is still very popular among international property buyers, who decide to buy a holiday property, for instance, on the Costa Blanca in coastal towns like Torrevieja or the famous Orihuela Costa.
