Unusual Clinical Features of Toscana Virus Central Nervous System Infections in Italy Analysis of 35 neuroinvasive Toscana virus cases shows mostly mild meningitis with recovery, rare encephalitis needing ICU care, and rising neurotropic severity

This #Zoonoses study demonstrates that #ToscanaVirus is often asymptomatic or mild, yet its #Neurotropic nature can drive severe #NeurologicalDiseases, like #Meningitis & #Encephalitis, warranting further research to understand its broader impact on human health.

Human neuroinvasive Toscana virus infections in Italy from 2016 to 2023: Increased incidence in 2022 and 2023 Background Toscana virus (TOSV) is transmitted to humans through bites of infected sand flies. Neuroinvasive TOSV infections are leading causes of meningitis/encephalitis in southern Europe and notifi...

"Our findings highlight the need of raising public awareness in #Italy to prevent sand fly exposure by adopting risk-mitigating behaviours, with a special focus on those of working age, men over 67 years of age and individuals residing in rural municipalities" 🪰
