To prevent Sloth fever, avoid contact with mosquitoes and biting midges, and use insect repellent and protective clothing.  

Sloth fever symptoms are similar to those of other viral infections, making it difficult to distinguish without specific medical testing.  

Sloth fever has been reported in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean.  

Sloth fever is not directly contagious between humans. It is transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes and biting midges.
