A patient in France has died following the first recorded human infection of the Shamonda virus. Health officials are currently investigating the case, which occurred in early October. The virus, an orthobunyavirus, is typically known to affect cattle rather than humans.
While the infection in France represents a new development in human pathology, the virus has also been identified in animal populations in Ireland within recent months. Authorities are monitoring the situation as they investigate the circumstances surrounding the fatal human case.
