AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoWest Nile Virus in the Netherlands: RIVM confirmed a locally acquired West Nile virus death, the first confirmed human case since 2020. The person was not the earlier blood donor or the recipient of the blood product. Public Health Monitoring: RIVM says 2026 has seen three likely locally acquired West Nile infections, with the virus also detected in horses and birds—meaning mosquitoes are circulating it. Disaster & Health Access: A deadly flash flood on the Nepal–Tibet border has killed at least 95–157 people (figures vary by update) and left hundreds missing, including foreign tourists and at least one reported Dutch national. Rescue is complicated by washed-out roads and damaged power and communications, with dozens of injured receiving hospital care. Blood Donation Milestone: The Netherlands’ oldest blood donor, Andre Oostenrijk, retired at 80 after 216 donations over more than 40 years, following Sanquin’s age rules and annual screening for older donors. Vaccine IP Update: Vaxart said the European Patent Office published a new patent protecting its oral norovirus vaccine technology across major European jurisdictions through at least 2036.
