The Servicio Extremeño de Salud (SES) has confirmed the first case of West Nile fever in Extremadura for the year 2026. The patient, an 86-year-old woman from Don Benito, Badajoz, was hospitalized and has since been discharged. This development follows recent health alerts regarding the transmission of the virus via mosquito bites.
In response to the ongoing risk, the National Association of Environmental Health Companies (ANECPLA) has issued a public advisory urging the population to avoid the accumulation of stagnant water. According to the association, eliminating these breeding sites is the most effective preventative measure to control the mosquito population and reduce the risk of further human infections.
