A man infected with the Shamonda virus dies in France in the first known case in a human

A man in France has died from the Shamonda virus, marking the first known human case. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is monitoring the situation closely. The patient, who had a serious illness, likely contracted the virus from a Culicoides mosquito bite. Investigations are ongoing to determine the virus's role in the patient's death. The virus primarily affects livestock and has been detected in several European countries since last summer. Authorities assure that there is currently no risk to the general population.
