Overview

Systematic review reveals geographic expansion of West Nile virus infections in Europe, highlighting climate change implications.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the progression of autochthonous West Nile Virus infections in Europe related to climate changes.
  • Systematic review of 27 studies published since 2015.
  • Analysis of geographic expansion and outbreak patterns of WNV.
  • Investigation of temporal relationships between meteorological factors and infection incidence.
  • Progressive geographic expansion of autochthonous WNV infections identified.
  • Rising temperatures consistently correlated with increased WNV incidence and earlier seasonal onset.
  • West Nile neuroinvasive disease disproportionately reported in older males with comorbidities.
