On his return to Bologna, a 50-year-old man who had been on holiday in Sri Lanka developed a high fever, joint pains, and widespread malaise. In the beginning of August [2008], the man consulted his doctor and was admitted to the Maggiore Hospital with a [diagnosis of chikungunya virus infection].
On 31 Jul 2008 the man, who is from Sri Lanka, returned to Bologna where he has lived for years. He spent the night at the home of his son who picked him up at the airport. The day after [1 Aug 2008], he felt the 1st symptoms of viral fever, went to his doctor, and then to the hospital.
Fausto France, chief of the Department of Hygiene and Public Health of dell'Ausl Bologna confirmed the diagnosis. France pointed out that the man had contracted the virus (which is transmitted only by the bite of tiger mosquitoes) abroad, that his condition is good, and that he could be discharged during the day. [The Asian tiger mosquito, _Aedes albopictus_ is a recognized vector of chikungunya virus, and so is _Ae. aegypti_. - Mod.TY]
Although the man had been home only for a few hours, the regional protocol [was implemented] for the elimination of [mosquito] larvae within a radius of 100 meters from the place in which there are known cases of [chikungunya virus] infection. Consequently, the Municipality has ordered an urgent, emergency health care cleanup of the area.

TICK-BORNE LYMPHADENOPATHY - SPAIN: (CATALONIA)--簡稱TIBOLA
Investigators at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) [Spain]and of the Parc Tauli Hospital in Sabadell have detected more than 40cases of a rare infectious disease, which is transmitted by ticksthat feed on wild boars and which is primarily affecting children.......
Based on the information given, the information strongly suggests that the illness reported is tick-borne lymphadenopathy, a disease caused by Rickettsia slovaca with the tick vector being Dermacentor marginatus. Reported from Spain initially in 2004 (1) [see ProMED ref. at end], the infection had previously been reported from France (2) and Hungary (3), both in 1997.
