Netherlands Reports 4 West Nile Deaths
So far in the Netherlands, 56 people have been infected with the West Nile Virus, of whom 9 have died, with 4 new deaths recorded in recent weeks. The disease began spreading after the first case was reported six years ago in August, with the number of infections increasing due to higher temperatures that promote the proliferation of the virus-carrying mosquitoes. The World Health Organization indicates that the virus is typically transmitted through mosquito bites and can develop into severe illness in about one in every 150 infected individuals. It appears that the peak of the outbreak has been surpassed, as the number of cases has recently declined.
