Shamonda virus reaches Europe with first human case in France
France has announced the detection of its first human case of Chlamydiosis virus, a disease that typically affects animals, in a patient with severe immune deficiency who subsequently passed away. It is believed that the infection occurred through a mosquito bite in eastern France, an area where the virus had been spreading among animals since spring and summer. The virus is classified within the Peribunya family and generally causes symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, decreased milk production, and miscarriage in cattle and other animals, with fewer neurological disturbances in some animal cases. Currently, there is no available vaccine, and ongoing studies aim to determine its potential for human transmission and the possible public health risks. The Director-General of the World Health Organization confirmed that this is the first documented human infection case, emphasizing the importance of monitoring the situation and completing studies to accurately assess the risk of spread.
