Cases of paralytic virus spread by mosquitoes are on the rise in Italy

Holidaymakers heading to Italy this summer have been warned of an outbreak of a deadly mosquito-borne disease, writes The Sun.

Health officials have confirmed almost 90 cases of West Nile virus in several European countries since August 9, 2023.

Figures from the European Center for Disease Control (ECDC) show that most cases have come from Italy where there have been 56 infections and one death reported this year.

The weekly report found that cases of the virus in Europe almost doubled from 48 to 89 between August 3 and August 9, suggesting the virus is spreading rapidly.

West Nile virus is a potentially paralyzing or fatal condition that can cause neurological diseases in humans, such as encephalitis and meningitis.

Both involve inflammation of the brain and can be fatal.

Romania has reported five cases, while France and Hungary have both registered three cases./ CNA
