Fourth Case of Autochthonous Dengue Fever Detected in France
Oct 6 The French health authorities today revealed the detection of a case of autochthonous dengue in the commune of Aubagne, in the region of Provence-Alpes-Cote d''Azur, the fourth recorded in the country this year.
The disease causes high fever, headache, joint and abdominal pain and dengue hemorrhagic fever can be fatal.
Specialists define a dengue case as autochthonous when the person has not traveled in the last 15 days to any country, from which it follows that the disease was contracted on the mainland.
The transmitter of the virus is the Mosquito Aedes Aegypti, established for many years in the French overseas departments and discovered a decade ago in the continental territory, mainly in the Southeast.
