Cases of the
mosquito-transmitted Zika virus have been reported in
Germany following
confirmation a Danish tourist has also tested
positive for the illness.
According to
n-tv, “multiple German travel returnees” have been diagnosed with the
virus, however the World Health Organisation
says there have been two German cases of the
virus in tourists returning to the country.
A WHO statement released on 21 January says:
“Between 4 and 12 January 2016, the National
IHR Focal Point for Germany notified PAHO/
WHO of two cases of ZIKA virus infection in
German nationals who had returned from Haiti
to Germany in late December.” WHO says samples from both patients were
collected and sent for laboratory testing at the
national reference centre for tropical diseases
in Germany and they tested positive.
