(1).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetween Jan. 1 and Jan. 23, we have had 268 suspected cases of Lassa Fever, 106 confirmed cases and unfortunately eight deaths,\u201d Faduyile said.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the prevalent period of the disease was during the dry season and part of the rainy season when farmers were cultivating lands for farming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe farmers during this period will do a lot of bush burning and when they burn the bush, the rats will move from their natural habitat to a place safer and a lot of them tends to come towards homes in that surrounding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first way to prevent Lassa is to stop bush burning, and we have sensitised against this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Faduyile advised people not to put their foods where rats can have access.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have observed that some of our cultural activities like spreading cassava on the road to dry are harmful because rats can come around eat out of the cassava and drop faeces or urine on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBesides, we have observed that our level of hygiene, if it is not well improved, can attract rats, because rats are scavengers and when there is uneaten food, that is not covered, they tend to come,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Faduyile noted that the government has embarked on advocacy through the local governments and traditional rulers as well as other preventive means to stem the disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery year there is \u2018deratification\u2019, that is to kill all the rats, and we have started it this year which has been largely successful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, there has been a lot of advocacy to medical personnel for them to have a high index of suspicion for any fever,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Faduyile said the government has improved the state Infectious Disease Hospital, Akure, to a standard that can take care of Lassa fever.
