Europe Faces Increasing West Nile Virus Cases
The World Health Organization in Europe warns of a rise in West Nile virus cases in several countries, especially as the peak of the transmission season between July and September approaches. Greece has recorded 21 cases, and Italy has also reported 21 cases across 17 regions, with symptoms ranging from asymptomatic to severe neurological infections. The organization recommends implementing preventive measures such as covering the body, using insect repellent, and eliminating standing water, as there is no vaccine available at this time. Emphasis is also placed on supportive care when necessary. High temperatures are considered a major factor contributing to the increased spread of the virus.
