A 37-year-old woman has died from the West Nile virus in north Cyprus following two other deaths since July.
The woman was admitted to hospital more than a month ago with high fever, was diagnosed with the virus and had been hospitalised ever since.
Six cases of West Nile virus have been reported in northern Cyprus, while in the south four people have been infected in Nicosia, eight in Famagusta area, and three in Larnaca with one elderly man losing his life in August.
The virus is mosquito borne and cannot be spread from person to person contact, while less than one per cent of those infected develop a serious form of the disease.
The UN reported at the beginning of August it would help efforts to tackle mosquitoes in the buffer zone.
