Mosquito Adulticidal Sprays Launched in Macedonia and Croatia

The Ministry of Health of North Macedonia ordered an emergency adulticidal spray in the village of Drachevo after a risk assessment identified a West Nile virus outbreak, with two patients reported in critical condition. The operation, carried out by the Centre for Public Health in Skopje, targets adult mosquito populations as a preventive measure.

In parallel, the municipal authority of Drnje in Croatia issued a notice announcing an adulticidal treatment to reduce mosquito numbers across the municipality. The measure follows a routine public‑health protocol aimed at controlling mosquito‑borne diseases.
