The first possible case of airport Zika virus infection in the EU/EEA

Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Since 2019, when the first autochthonous cases of ZIKV disease were observed in EU/EEA countries, no other locally acquired ZIKV disease cases have been reported in EU/EEA. Our case of ZIKV disease in 2024 had a history of flying from Slovakia to Italy and back through Hungary. Since other human routes of ZIKV transmission have been ruled out, we describe the first case of possible ZIKV transmission through airport mosquitoes in EU/EEA.
