Greece sees rise in West Nile cases
The rise in West Nile Virus infection cases in Greece has seen a significant increase, especially in the Greater Athens area, where 45 new cases were recorded last week, bringing the total to 110 cases since the beginning of the year, with 9 deaths. The virus is transmitted by mosquitoes and often causes flu-like symptoms, but it can lead to serious complications such as encephalitis and meningitis, particularly in individuals over 65 years of age. Local authorities have intensified insect control spraying operations, increasing the rate by 30% as part of efforts to curb the spread of the disease, which is among the most dangerous mosquito-borne illnesses in Europe. There is currently no specific vaccine or treatment for the virus, and cases continue to rise with increased mosquito activity during the summer and fall seasons.
