Authorities in the Attica region of Greece have initiated overnight spraying operations to combat the West Nile virus. Two crews will work throughout the night in the Alikes Artemis wetlands, a significant local habitat. The spraying, utilizing specialized “turbine” equipment, aims to cover approximately 10,000 acres. This action is a preventative measure to control mosquito populations, the carriers of the virus, and protect public health. The region is prioritizing the wetland area due to its suitability for mosquito breeding. Residents are advised to take personal protective measures against mosquito bites during this period and beyond. The initiative highlights ongoing efforts to manage the spread of West Nile virus in the area.
