- By 12 July 2026, the Robert Koch Institute had recorded 14 infections acquired in Germany, compared with four during the same period in 2025, nine in 2024 and one in 2023.
- Italy’s National Institute of Health, ISS, assessed the infection risk in Italy as extremely low on 10 August 2026, saying the find in the Strait of Messina did not necessarily mean a particular danger for holidaymakers.
- The RKI counted 17 cases and two deaths in Germany so far in 2026; older people and those with diabetes, liver disease or weakened immune systems face the greatest risk, while younger healthy people are far less likely to develop severe illness.
- Transmission usually occurs when open wounds contact pathogen-contaminated water or through raw or insufficiently cooked seafood, so wounds should be covered and warning signs such as severe pain, redness or fever assessed by a doctor.
