👉 Ohio infection, also known as Ohio virus or Ohio encephalitis, is a rare but serious viral disease caused by the Ohio virus (Coxswire virus), a member of the flavivirus family. Primarily transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes, particularly those from the Culex genus, Ohio infection can lead to a range of symptoms including fever, headache, nausea, and in severe cases, neurological complications such as meningitis or encephalitis. Early diagnosis and treatment with antiviral medications are crucial for improving outcomes, as the disease can be fatal if left untreated. Prevention strategies focus on mosquito control and personal protection measures like using insect repellent and wearing long sleeves and pants, especially during peak mosquito activity seasons.
