Oz virus is transmitted through the bite of the Amblyomma testudinarium tick. Such mites are found in a large area of ​​Japan.

Japan reports the world’s first death after contracting the Oz virus. This was reported by Kyodo News.

The woman reportedly went to a medical facility in the summer of 2022 after she developed symptoms of the disease, which included fever and fatigue. Doctors diagnosed pneumonia, but when the patient’s condition worsened, he was hospitalized, and a tick was found on his right thigh.

The Oz virus, according to the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Tokyo, is transmitted through the bite of the Amblyomma testudinarium tick. Such mites are found in a large area of ​​Japan.

It was noted that the woman died of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) 26 days after hospitalization.

According to the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Tokyo, there is currently no vaccine against the Oz virus.

The virus was first detected in 2018 in an Amblyomma testudinarium tick found in western Ehime Prefecture.

The institute reported that infection with the virus does not necessarily end in death, but more research is needed on its symptoms and risks.

It will be remembered that last year the first case of death from monkeypox was registered in the United States.

In early August last year, an outbreak of monkeypox in the United States was declared a public health emergency.
