As in 2018, when a large West Nile virus (WNV) epi-demic occurred, the 2022 vector season in Italy was marked by an early onset of WNV circulation in mos-quitoes and birds. Human infections were limited until early July, when we observed a rapid increase in the number of cases. We describe the epidemiology of human infections and animal and vector surveillance for WNV and compare the more consolidated data of June and July 2022 with the same period in 2018.

Abstract
As in 2018, when a large West Nile virus (WNV) epi-demic occurred, the 2022 vector season in Italy was marked by an early onset of WNV circulation in mos-quitoes and birds. Human infections were limited until early July, when we observed a rapid increase in the number of cases. We describe the epidemiology of human infections and animal and vector surveillance for WNV and compare the more consolidated data of June and July 2022 with the same period in 2018.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
