  • Alarm signal from the specialists for all Romanians

In general, mosquitoes are not a danger to humans. But there are also types of mosquitoes that could spread serious diseases. A year ago, the greatest danger from this point of view, in Romania, were the insects that spread the West Nile virus. This time, things have changed in our country.

Malaria is spread in Romania by mosquitoes

In the year 2024, mosquitoes that spread malaria were detected. According to some recent reports, the risk of contacting this disease in Romania has been confirmed.

The dangers could increase immediately after the temperatures rise as well, as warm weather favors the presence of this type of mosquito. More such mosquitoes have been detected in several countries in Europe, where the weather is warmer at this time of the year.

A doctor in Barcelona raised the alarm about the emergence of malaria. Rachel Lowe believes that Europe is not at all prepared to face such a disease, or dengue fever. The symptoms are very serious and the disease is very difficult to treat.

“With the weak response to climate change, we can expect an increase in cases and deaths from diseases such as malaria and dengue fever in Europe. We must anticipate possible pandemics and intervene in time to prevent them”said doctor Rachel Lowe, according to The Guardian.

What are the most common symptoms of malaria?

Malaria is an infectious disease, most often found in countries with high temperatures. It has specific symptoms, but very easy to confuse. People need to be aware of how severe these symptoms are and how long they last.

So, one of the most common symptoms is very strong chills that persist. Other symptoms may include nausea, high fever, muscle aches, chest pain, constant fatigue and unusual sweating.
