WHO watches tick outbreaks in Europe
The World Health Organization announced that it is monitoring the spread of ticks in Europe following reported cases of Bourbon virus infection in the United States. The Bourbon virus is a rare tick-borne virus that has so far only been observed in America. To date, only limited cases have been diagnosed, but there is a possibility that its spread may be broader, based on the discovery of antibodies in the blood of some individuals. Symptoms include fever, headache, body aches, and nausea. Medical teams are facing difficulties in diagnosis due to the lack of specific tests for the virus. However, so far, it is not believed that the virus poses a direct threat to public health in Europe or elsewhere.
