Mysore/Mysuru: Against the backdrop of the emergence of West Nile Fever (WNF) in Kerala, H.D. Kote Health and Family Welfare Officer Dr. Gopinath and Taluk Health Officer Dr. T. Ravikumar, along with their team, inspected Bavali check-post along Kerala border on Mysuru-Manandavadi Road on Thursday.
Following previous outbreaks of COVID-19, Nipah and H5N1 avian influenza from across the border, there is a concern about the spread of West Nile Fever. The prevalence of West Nile Fever has been particularly high in Kerala, prompting increased vigilance in Mysuru region. Check-posts have been established in H.D. Kote Taluk to monitor vehicles entering and leaving the area.
