Greece reports rise in West Nile Virus cases

The virus causes flu-like symptoms and can lead to encephalitis or meningitis in severe cases, with most infections concentrated in the Greater Athens area. So far, there is no specific vaccine or treatment for the virus, and Europe is experiencing an increase in cases during the mosquito active season from July to September.
