Animal-borne Shamonda virus infects and kills a human for the first time

The potential for a wider outbreak is low, but experts are still investigating how the disease-causing virus leaped from animals to humans in the first place

法國一名免疫功能低下的男子感染了此前只在家畜中發現的Shamonda病毒並死於腦炎，這是該病毒被發現六十余年來首例人類病例。專家認為目前尚無證據表明該病毒會在人群中廣泛傳播，但需持續監測動物、媒介昆蟲和人類樣本。
