Virusul West Nile este prezent în 12 ţări europene, anunță Centrul European pentru Prevenirea şi Controlul Bolilor

Twelve European countries reported West Nile virus infections this year, prompting calls for enhanced control measures across the continent. The virus, primarily transmitted by mosquitoes, can lead to severe neurological issues. Italy and Greece reported the highest case numbers, with 311 and 157 respectively. The ECDC emphasizes the need for integrated mosquito control strategies and community involvement. The spread of invasive mosquito species, such as the tiger mosquito, is also increasing in Europe, raising concerns about additional diseases.
