  • [01] West of Lake Paralimni Mirage Debris Found

    15 Apr 2006 12:38:00

    By Mary Lou Tzempelikou

    Debris of the Mirage 2000 fighter jet, which had gone missing for over 24 hours, were located by EMAK (Hellenic Rescue Team) foot troops with trained dogs west of lake Paralimni on Saturday morning after overnight searches. The small objects, which were originally recovered, are believed to be part of the cockpit. Helicopters rushed on site to ascertain whether the Mirage had indeed crashed there and after pinpointing the exact location of the accident, searches in other areas were called off.

    [02] Concern over Asian Tiger Mosquito

    14 Apr 2006 23:32:00

    Sources: NET

    The Asian tiger mosquito can cause various serious diseases, such as malaria and encephalitis. Public Health inspectors located the dangerous mosquito on Corfu and Thesprotia, however, it has not caused serious problems to humans. Doctors stated that common insect repellent lotions offer protection. It is noted that the issue was closely examined in the 1st International Entomology Conference hosted in Serres.

    Serious Health Problems

    The Asian tiger mosquito has distinctive white stripes on its body. It travels around the world, laying its eggs on car or aircraft tires.

    It causes serious health problems to humans. One bite from the Asian tiger mosquito can cause malaria, dengue fever or encephalitis.

    The mosquito usually bites early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

    Now that summer is approaching, it would be wise if citizens bought and used special insect repellent lotions, as to avoid its bite and mainly its side effects.
