The first case of dengue fever was registered this year in Bashkiria, the press service of the regional department of Rospotrebnadzor told Bashinform News Agency.

“The next day after returning from a vacation from the UAE, the Ufa man, feeling unwell, fever, headache, turned to a medical organization, where he was diagnosed with dengue fever,” the press service of the department said.

Infection with the virus occurs when bitten by mosquitoes that live mainly in tropical countries. The virus is not transmitted from person to person.

Experts advise: before visiting the regions of Russia or countries of the world, be sure to be interested in the epidemiological situation in the area. Information about this can be found on the regional websites of Rospotrebnadzor.

It is also recommended to use repellents, dress in protective clothing from head to toe, check rooms for mosquitoes before bed, and use mosquito nets on windows and curtains.
