The first case of death from a new virus called Alaskapox has been recorded on the Kenai Peninsula in the United States. A man living in a forested area fell victim to this dangerous disease. According to information from the Alaska Department of Health, the patient was battling cancer, which weakened his immune system and increased the risk of infection.

According to the official statement, he was diagnosed with cancer, which resulted in a weakened immune system.

One factor in the infection was the man's contact with a stray cat, which often scratched him and preyed on small mammals. Scientists confirm that the virus can be transmitted through animals, especially if they are carriers. There have been six previously reported cases of Alaskapox infection in the Fairbanks area, all involving contact with animals.
