Controlling facility conditions which allow the spread of viral hemorrhagic fever is essential, according to an article on the Ledger-Independent website.
Because many of the hosts that carry hemorrhagic fever viruses are rodents, disease prevention efforts include:
• Controlling rodent populations
• Discouraging rodents from entering or living in homes or workplaces
• Encouraging safe cleanup of rodent nests and droppings
• Use insect repellant, proper clothing, bed nets, window screens, and other insect barriers to avoid being bitten
