Standard veterinary treatment for animals infected with a viral agent can be used. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water around the home. Stay indoors at dawn, dusk, and early evening. Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants and socks outdoors. Use insect repellent on exposed skin, following the manufacturer's directions.
Higher concentrations give no added protection.
Mosquitoes will bite through thin clothing. Make sure that doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or holes. Vitamin B , ultrasonic devices, incense and bug zappers do not prevent mosquito bites. Do not take pet birds outside, especially at the times when mosquitoes are active.
