A virus infection like influenza, which is transmitted by the bite of the sandfly Phlebotomus papatasii and is common in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
A viral disease transmitted to man by the bite of the sandfly Phlebotomus papatasii. Sandfly fever occurs principally in countries surrounding the Persian Gulf and the tropical Mediterranean; it occurs during the warmer months, does not last long, and is never fatal. Symptoms resemble those of influenza. There is no specific treatment apart from aspirin and codeine to relieve the symptoms.<\/p>\n
A viral illness, caused by phlebovirus, conveyed by the bite of a small hairy midge or sandfly (Phlebotomus papatasi). The incubation period is 3-7 days.<\/p>\n
A mild viral disease that clinically resembles influenza, with headache, sore throat, muscle aches, and malaise. The causative organism, any one of several species of Bunyaviridae viruses, is transmitted by the common sandfly Phlebotomus papatasi, a small, hairy, blood-sucking midge that bites at night. The disease occurs in tropical and subtropical areas that experience long periods of hot, dry weather. Several antiviral drugs (e.g., alpha interferon and ribavirin) have some activity against the disease.<\/p>\n
