According to the Dordogne prefecture, 16 cattle farms are affected by MHE, epizootic hemorrhagic disease, in the department. No animal died, according to the health defense group. The State is deploying two exceptional aid schemes for the farmers concerned.

At the beginning of November, there were three cases in Dordogne. There are now 16 farms affected by MHE , the disease which affects cattle, in the department. No animal would have died from this virus transmitted by midges and whose symptoms resemble a serious flu, with abscesses and ulcers.

According to Nicolas Corboz, director of the health defense group (GDS), only a few cattle are affected on each farm concerned, we are talking about 3-4 cows maximum . The cases were detected in the municipalities of Beauronne, Eymet, Lanouaille, La Roche-Chalais, Lavaur, Mauzens-et-Miremont, Montcaret, Naussannes, Pontours, Saint-Cyr-les-Champagnes, Saint-Martial-de-Nabirat, Saint-Pompont, Soulaures and Thénac.

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD): update on an emerging disease

The first outbreaks of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) were declared in France in September 2023 on cattle farms in the southwest. This infectious disease caused by a virus is transmitted exclusively by midges of the Culicoides genus , the same as those of bluetongue (BFT). The detection of MHE outbreaks leads to specific control and prevention measures within a radius of 150 km around the outbreaks. This restricted zone can be viewed below (map). The list of municipalities included in it is also downloadable.

As of April 25, 2024, 4,275 outbreaks of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) have been recorded in France on farms. These outbreaks concern the following 20 departments: Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Hautes-Pyrénées, Haute-Garonne, Gers, Landes, Ariège, Aude, Tarn, Lot-et-Garonne, Gironde, Tarn-et-Garonne, Dordogne, Corrèze, Vendée, Deux-Sèvres, Loire-Atlantique, Lot, Haute-Vienne, Morbihan and Pyrénées-Orientales.

A study is underway in infected farms to consolidate mortality and morbidity data. In almost all cases, the care provided allows sick animals to recover within a few days.

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD): update on an emerging disease
,,,
The first outbreaks of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) were declared in France in September 2023 in cattle farms in the southwest. This infectious disease caused by a virus is transmitted exclusively by midges of the genus Culicoides , the same as those of bluetongue (BT). The detection of EHD outbreaks leads to specific control and prevention measures within a radius of 150 km around the outbreaks. This regulated zone can be viewed below (map). The list of municipalities included in it can also be downloaded.

Between June 1 and August 22, 2024, 208 outbreaks of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) were recorded in France in livestock farms due to the resumption of vector activity (i.e. culicoides). The departments affected by EHD since its emergence in 2023 in France are: Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Hautes-Pyrénées, Haute-Garonne, Gers, Landes, Ariège, Aude, Tarn, Lot-et-Garonne, Gironde, Tarn-et-Garonne, Dordogne, Corrèze, Vendée, Deux-Sèvres, Loire-Atlantique, Lot, Haute-Vienne, Morbihan, Pyrénées-Orientales, Aveyron and Maine-et-Loire.

A study is underway in infected farms to consolidate mortality and morbidity data. The care implemented allows in almost all cases a cure of sick animals within a few days.
