The "Leonardo da Vinci" airport in Rome-Fiumicino raises the level of vigilance towards planes transporting passengers and goods coming from countries where there is a "frequent and continuous risk of contracting the Dengue disease". Among the countermeasures is careful monitoring "of aircraft disinfection" and the evaluation of any ordinances for extraordinary surveillance and sanitization interventions. 

It was ordered by the general director of the Prevention office of the Ministry of Health, Francesco Vaia, who communicated the act to the Maritime, Air Border Police and Health Offices. The measure came due to the global increase in cases of Dengue contagion, particularly in Brazil and Argentina; it is a tropical disease transmitted by the bite of tiger mosquitoes.
