Key facts
Romania reported its first 2026 autochthonous West Nile virus cases in the ECDC Week 27 reading (data to 1 July 2026) and has since risen to 117 locally-acquired cases at the ECDC Week 40 reading (data to 30 September 2026). Romania does not lead the European count: Italy leads with 721 cases, ahead of Greece (420), Spain (131) and France (128), within a European Region total of 1,765 locally-acquired human cases across 16 countries. Romania was a new 2026 reporting country (0 cases through W26, 2 from W27); the ECDC weekly directs readers to the joint monthly report at https://wnv-monthly.ecdc.europa.eu/ for the county/NUTS3 breakdown. The INSP/CNSCBT national informer could not be fetched in this run (HTTP 503), so no 2026 Romanian death count is given.
