SloveniaA deadly virus spreading through mosquitoes has infected four people in neighboring areas, according to reports. The virus was detected in tested crows, which indicates its widespread presence, as the birds came from various locations. The virus spreads via mosquitoes that become infected by biting one bird and then transmitting it to another. In some cases, the cycle ends when an infected mosquito bites a human or other mammal. Most infected humans show no symptoms, but some may develop neurological infections with confusion, tremors, seizures, or epileptic episodes. Severe cases carry a mortality rate of up to 90 percent, particularly affecting older individuals and those with weakened immune systems or other health conditions. Infected crows were found in several areas, prompting city services to implement enhanced monitoring using cold fog treatments in specific neighborhoods. According to experts, the virus threatens both humans and urban ecosystems, with black crows being the most affected. The loss of this species could disrupt ecological balance and create conditions favorable for invasive species like rats.
