[France discovers the world's first human case of salmonda virus infection] On October 22, France discovered the world's first human infection case of the salmonda virus, a virus that was previously thought to only infect animals. France's Agriculture Ministry said on Thursday that the patient was in serious condition and died in a Lyon hospital earlier this month. The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control is investigating "the possible public health implications of this first case of human infection." The virus was first detected in European livestock in July this year. Salmendavirus is typically spread through the bite of an infected midge, but the species of midge involved in recent transmission remains unclear. France's agriculture ministry said the virus poses no risk to the general population. The Lyon patient was severely immunocompromised and developed brain complications. Infected cattle may experience symptoms such as fever, diarrhea and reduced milk production. The European Veterinary Federation said infection in pregnant cows may cause miscarriage, stillbirth and brain malformations in calves.
