In recent days, attention to the prevention of diseases transmitted by mosquitoes has increased in Brescia, where cases of West Nile fever have been reported. Local health authorities have launched an informational campaign to raise awareness among the population about the measures to take to limit the proliferation of these insects. It is essential to avoid the formation of stagnant water in watering cans and containers, cover tanks and rainwater collection vessels, and keep gutters and fountains clean.
Furthermore, experts recommend regularly emptying pet water bowls and checking inflatable pools to prevent stagnation. The situation is being constantly monitored, with suggestions for the use of larvicidal treatments in wet areas. Detailed information on prevention practices is available at the city’s health offices.
