Powassan Virus: What is this rare and deadly virus that has alarmed US authorities? | Oneindia News
An extremely rare virus has reared its head fuelling concerns.
The US health officials have started warning people about a rare virus called 'Powassan virus' following the death of a resident in Sagadahoc County, Maine.
The recent fatality marks the third case in Maine since 2015 due to this non-treatable illness.
Since 2015, Maine has recorded a total of 15 confirmed cases of Powassan virus infection.
However, the situation became more alarming in 2022 when four cases were reported, resulting in the tragic loss of two lives.
Experts warn that the Powassan virus, often called a ticking time bomb, may become more prevalent with the changing climate.
Humans are primarily exposed to the Powassan virus through bites from infected deer ticks, squirrel ticks, and even groundhog ticks.
The majorly affected regions include North America’s Great Lakes, especially between the late spring and mid-autumn season.

'Jurassic World Rebirth' is expected to take a big bite out of the box office over the July 4th weekend...here's just how much money the movie is expected to make. The film opens Wednesday, July 2nd, in North America on the eve of the long Fourth of July weekend. Tracking is suggesting a five-day debut in the $100 million to $125 million range, but that that number could climb higher.

Canada is weighing joining the US in President Donald Trump’s ambitious “Golden Dome” missile defense initiative, aimed at shielding against threats like ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Chief of Defence Staff Jennie Carignan affirmed strong US-Canada military ties amid rising geopolitical tensions. While China and Russia warn against space militarization, Ottawa stresses defense, not provocation. Trump promises operational status by term-end, while Canada increases Arctic vigilance. With regional dynamics shifting toward the Indo-Pacific, North America’s security strategy could be on the brink of dramatic transformation.

Trump taunts Canada over its interest in joining the ambitious Golden Dome Missile Shield project. While welcoming Canada’s participation in the $175 billion defense initiative, Trump makes it clear: “They can join, but they will have to pay.” The Golden Dome aims to protect North America from hypersonic missiles, drones, and nuclear threats with cutting-edge technology spanning land, sea, and space.

In a historic U.S.-brokered deal, D.R. Congo and Rwanda have signed a peace agreement in Washington, witnessed by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Trump hailed it as a “glorious triumph,” though critics argue it may serve U.S. interests in Congo’s mineral-rich east. The deal includes a trade framework for critical minerals, but M23 rebels reject its legitimacy. With thousands killed and millions displaced, experts warn that without inclusive enforcement and reforms, peace may remain elusive in the volatile Great Lakes region.
