The Board reported the death of eight horses for West Nile fever

Have detected six infected more in Jerez as well as other eleven in Medina, Chiclana, Las Cabezas, Barbate, Conil and Los Barrios

10/16/1910

Although nearly a fortnight had passed without hearing anything more infected by the virus of West Nile Fever (West Nile), the Andalusian reported between Thursday and Friday the detection of 17 new cases affecting Jerez populations, Chiclana, Las Cabezas (Sevilla), Medina Sidonia, Los Barrios, Barbate and Conil.

In addition, through the portal www.juntadeandalucia.es the Ministry of Agriculture has given notice and the deaths of eight horses since he knew the appearance of the first outbreak on 10 September. The municipality of Jerez recorded four of the eight equine deaths. The first two were recorded only known outbreak in the province while the third death occurred on September 24 and the fourth Thursday.

Three other horses are dead and the last Chiclana, Las Cabezas de San Juan. With the latest additions, 36 horses have tested positive in tests performed by veterinarians and technicians from the Junta de Andaluc?a. Only two of these cases are from the province of Seville in particular localities bordering Cadiz.

Chiclana is the town that bears the greatest number of horses infected with 15 cases. He closely follows Jerez, with 13, while the rest are widely held.
It was not until just this week when the Governing Council approved the establishment of the executive committee for monitoring, evaluation and monitoring of special situations related with episodes of epidemics, epizootics and spread of disease. In particular, this new body will coordinate the activities of the regional administration about events like the outbreak of West Nile fever.

Remember that contagion only occurs through the bite of a mosquito both horses and humans.
