Sandfly Fever
Sandfly Fever is a viral illness caused by the sandfly bite, primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions. The disease is transmitted by the bites of infected female sandflies, which are most active during dusk and dawn. Symptoms typically include fever, headache, and joint pain, and while it can be uncomfortable, it is usually self-limiting.
Prevention of sandfly fever focuses on avoiding bites through the use of insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and using bed nets. There is no specific antiviral treatment for the illness, so supportive care is recommended to manage symptoms.
