Shamonda virus in France

On 2 November 2026, World Health Organization (WHO) published an update following the first ever known case of Shamonda virus (SHAV) infection in a human. The case was an immunocompromised older man from eastern France with no travel history during the preceding year. He developed severe encephalitis (brain inflammation) and died in early October 2026. Vector-borne transmission (via a bite from an infected midge) is thought to be the most likely source of infection. Food-borne transmission is unlikely but remains under investigation. As this is the first documented laboratory confirmed human infection, WHO considers that the public health risk cannot yet be reliably assessed and recommends continued surveillance and investigation.

Take usual precautions
Outbreak updates (latest first)

On 22 October 2026, French health authorities reported the first ever known case of Shamonda virus (SHAV) infection in a human. The case was severely immunosuppressed and died in early October. Some brain complications prior to his death were likely linked to the infection. It is thought that the individual contracted the virus following a bite from a midge in the East of France, where the virus has been been circulating in animals (mainly cattle) since spring/summer 2026. Local health authorities have advised there is no risk to the general population at present as this appears to be an isolated and exceptional case. Please see World Organisation for Animal Health for further details on Shamonda virus.
