Muere un hombre de 88 años en Badajoz por el virus del Nilo

An 88-year-old man from Badajoz has become the second death from West Nile virus in Extremadura, El Periódico de Aragón reported. The first victim was a 68-year-old woman, also from the Don Benito-Villanueva health district.
West Nile virus has claimed two lives in Spain's Extremadura region. Both victims belonged to the same health district, indicating possible local transmission patterns. The virus spreads through mosquito bites and can cause serious illness in older adults.
The first confirmed death was the 68-year-old woman. Now the 88-year-old man from Badajoz marks the second fatal case. Both patients lived in the same health district, raising questions about outbreak control and mosquito prevention efforts in the area.
Older people face greater danger from West Nile virus. The 88-year-old victim and the 68-year-old first victim were both vulnerable ages. Health officials say seniors with underlying conditions need extra protection from mosquito bites during warm months.
