Italy faces outbreak with 54 deaths
The article discusses the West Nile virus outbreak in Italy during the 2026 season, which resulted in 54 deaths and 700 infections. The virus is primarily transmitted through bites from infected mosquitoes, especially the Culex species. It is usually asymptomatic or presents symptoms similar to the flu, but in rare cases, it can cause encephalitis or meningitis with serious neurological complications. The risk of severe cases increases among the elderly over 60 and those with chronic illnesses. There is currently no specific treatment for the virus, and prevention relies on protecting against mosquito bites through protective clothing, insecticides, and the removal of stagnant water. Health authorities are continuously monitoring the situation and intensifying preventive measures to limit the spread of the infection.
