An article from Media Fax :
" Four people have died in Romania from infections with the mosquito-borne West Nile virus, the Health Ministry said Wednesday, adding four new infections have been confirmed, bringing the total number to 38.
A 60-year-old woman, from the southeastern Constanta county, who also had hypertension and had suffered a stroke, is the fourth person to die in Romania from infection with the West Nile virus.
All four people who died were aged over 60 and had chronic illnesses.
West Nile virus infections have affected the whole of Europe this summer. The virus is transmitted in humans through mosquito-bites and is not transmitted directly between humans.
There is no vaccine against the virus."
