West Nile Virus Hits The Balkans

As the US sees one of it's worst season of West Nile virus ever, the Balkan countries are being hit as well.

Health officials in Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia, and Croatia have all reported cases of the disease.

Five deaths have been connected to the virus, three of them in Serbia, which has also seen the most cases.

Kosovo is currently investigating two other deaths, for the possibility that they were caused by West Nile, as well.

All of the dead were over fifty and suffering from some other illness, which weakened their immune systems.
