The virus is transmitted by the common mosquito
which becomes infected by biting infected birds and can carry the pathogen to accidental hosts such as horses and humans
After the first case of infection in humans in Veneto
attention to the spread of the virus is growing in the province of Verona West Nile
the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of the Venezie has recorded six cases of positivity in mosquitoes in the provinces of Verona
"We are facing the classic textbook case - says Gioia Capelli
health director of the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie - since the infection in humans generally occurs two weeks after the first positives in the mosquitoes"
The episode happened in fact in an area not far from the town of Ronco all'Adige (Verona)
where the first positivity of West Nile virus in mosquitoes was recorded on 17 July
“Fortunately this year the situation seems more favourable
the few cases found in mosquitoes and animals decrease the probability that the virus will also spread to humans
We are following the evolution of the epidemiological situation with the utmost attention
in close collaboration with the regional and national health authorities"
the IZSVe researchers positioned 85 mosquito traps
distributed between Veneto (65) and Friuli Venezia Giulia (20)
Monitoring is carried out in a capillary way from May to October with one-night catches every two weeks for each site
a total of 112.760 mosquitoes of 16 different species were captured
mainly represented by the species Culex pipiens
the common mosquito responsible for the transmission of the West Nile virus
of which six tested positive for West Nile virus (0,4 percent)
Veterinary surveillance also involves birds and equids
As far as surveillance in wild birds is concerned
the National Arbovirus Plan 2020-2025 provides for both passive surveillance (active throughout the year) and active surveillance in target species
852 specimens of wild avifauna had been conferred with the discovery of a positive jay for WNV in Selvazzano Dentro (Padua)
the circulation of the virus in Triveneto appears today to be less intense than in 2022 when 500 cases of West Nile in humans (723 in Italy)
with 166 neuro-invasive forms and 22 deaths
Genetic analyzes conducted on human and animal samples confirm that this year
the WNV-1 strain is also circulating in Veneto
which emerged in 2021 after eight years of absence and has now stabilized in this area
In addition to the surveillance activity defined in the context of the National Arbovirus Plan
there is the plan established by the Veneto Region which involves Local Health Units
“The report of the human case confirms that the surveillance network works very well – continues Capelli
The moment we found the first positive mosquito
the screening system for blood transfusion activities in humans was immediately activated
animals and humans is a good example of a One Health approach
which is essential at a time when climate change increases the health risks associated with the spread of emerging pathogens and vector-borne diseases"
The virus is transmitted by the common mosquito (Culex pipiens)
The disease is not transmitted from human to human or from horse to human
