Netherlands reports first West Nile case in six years
For the first time since 2020, the Netherlands registered a case of West Nile Virus after a six-year absence, according to the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment. The infection was mild, and the patient did not travel outside the country. It is believed that the infection occurred within the Netherlands. It is worth noting that the virus is transmitted through mosquito bites and can cause severe illness and death in one out of every 150 cases. Concerns are rising due to the increase in temperatures, which is expanding mosquito spread across Europe.
