Dangerous virus sweeping through Europe, potentially reaching Hungary this year
Change language:
A new scientific study has warned that the tropical chikungunya virus could spread across much of Europe, with climate change creating increasingly favourable conditions for the mosquitoes that transmit the disease.
Dangerous virus possibly heading towards Hungary
According to research highlighted by The Guardian, the virus — once confined largely to tropical regions — can now be carried by invasive Asian tiger mosquitoes established across the continent. The illness does not spread from person to person and is rarely fatal, but it typically causes fever and severe joint pain that can persist for months or even years.

From the end of spring until the beginning of autumn
Scientists found that rising temperatures are significantly extending the potential transmission season. In southern European countries such as Spain, Italy and Greece, infections could be possible for more than six months each year. Meanwhile, central and western nations — including France, Germany and Hungary — may face transmission risks for three to five months annually.
Yeah, yeah, it’s here because of “climate change.” Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Nothing to do with millions of third-world invaders with poor health and atrocious hygiene habits infesting Europe. Nothing at all. Nuh-uh!
Nem, köszönöm. Nem fogunk megint akadályokat gyötörni egy nem létező vírus miatt.
I heared about it first time during the farsang days.
Sorry, but to me it sounds like a rumor, a joke. A dangerous joke!
