Why is West Nile spreading in Italy
The article discusses the spread of West Nile Virus in Italy since 2020, with an increase during the summer and early fall due to rising temperatures and climate change. Italian health authorities indicate that higher temperatures accelerate mosquito reproduction, which shortens the incubation period and expands the affected areas. The country has reported over 650 cases so far, accounting for half of the cases in Europe. There have also been increasing reports of cases in the Netherlands, with the virus transmission season expected to continue until November due to elevated temperatures, contributing to the wider spread of the virus across Europe.
