Greece reports record 324 West Nile cases, 30 deaths; Attica hardest hit

Greece has recorded 324 West Nile virus cases and 30 deaths, the highest on record, with Attica (including Athens) accounting for 56.8% of exposures. The outbreak is ongoing and may expand geographically as transmission season continues. This marks a significant public-health burden and highlights climate-driven vector expansion in southern Europe.
