Seventy people have died of West Nile virus in Israel during this summer’s outbreak, the Israeli Health Ministry announced on Friday.
Overall, 913 people have been diagnosed with the virus in the past four months.
West Nile virus has affected Israel for years, usually appearing in June through November and not usually infecting large numbers of people.
Eighty percent of those infected do not develop any symptoms, but the rest, especially elderly and immune-compromised people, display flu-like symptoms including fever, general malaise, headaches and body aches.
Neurological complications will appear in less than 1% of those infected.
People in central Israel and greater Tel Aviv are especially at risk of contracting the disease as the high humidity creates a good breeding ground for the mosquitoes that spread it, according to the ministry.
The virus is primarily transmitted to humans via mosquitoes—particularly, species that feed on birds—and does not spread from person to person.
Israeli authorities have urged health officials to increase mosquito monitoring and extermination efforts while calling on the public to take preventative measures.

No one should visit Egypt. That’s where the Nile is and it’s unsafe.
Even Israelis have stopped the quacksine, causing millions of dollars loss to Maderna, Pfizer and J&J who are now using their shots to “cure” West Nile Virus.
Mrs. Flatbush, you were showing your ignorance. The Nile has stopped functioning for over 100 years.. It’s very likely that this river disease from somewhere over there.
Another excuse to push their deadly vaccines on everyone
Are you insinuating that our beloved government would lie to us?
Yes!! Yes!! Yes!! To lie is what they do!!
I think the turning point in history when this fact (of the government’s Sheker) became glaringly clear was about 61 years ago on November 22, 1963 when — in broad public view that was really before the whole world — they brazenly killed their top leader, President John F. Kennedy. Then, they published a thick book titled “The Warren Report” to explain that it was a crazy socially isolated guy named Lee Oswald who did the murder. This was obviously a totally fabricated fabrication to deflect away from the numerous people of the CIA & other government agencies & the Mafia & other groups who actually did the assassination. Already, vast numbers of Americans did not believe the report, and through the following years, countless books, lectures, and documentary films have been published which reveal tremendous amounts of the true story.
