An individual with cancer in France has become the first person known to contract the Shamonda virus, after an outbreak in livestock in Europe that was first identified in July. The man, aged in his sixties, died on 9 October, 16 days after he started showing neurological symptoms, including vision loss and confusion, according to a case report published in Eurosurveillance this week1. Infectious-disease researchers say little is known about the virus or how it affects the body.
