Valurile de căldură din Europa favorizează răspândirea bolilor infecțioase, avertizează agenția europeană de sănătate

The ECDC warns that rising temperatures in Europe increase the risk of infectious diseases during summer. Foodborne illnesses are the most common, exacerbated by heat. Vibrio infections can occur from warm coastal waters, causing various symptoms. Mosquito-borne diseases like dengue and West Nile virus are also a concern, with recommendations for protective measures. Tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease, are on the rise, necessitating precautions during outdoor activities. Vaccines are available for tick-borne encephalitis.
