A new case of H5N1 avian influenza was recently found in the central Israeli city of Yehud • "Within living memory, no avian influenza has affected wild birds in the same capacity"
If symptoms of fever and headache appear followed a few days later by a rash, you should contact your doctor.
Scientists have expressed concerns that the outbreak could spread to Antarctica and devastate penguin and seal populations.
After an Israeli citizen contracted Dengue fever during a trip abroad, Israel is preparing to eliminate populations of the mosquito responsible for the disease.
