Re: Schmallenberg virus : new Akabane-like virus in cattle, sheep and goats in Europe

For this year the SBV problem seems to be almost over on sheepfarms in the Netherlands. It is slowing down on cattlefarms, but not over yet.


Netherlands: Schmallenberg virus confirmed in 234 farms

Update march 30 2012

Number of suspected premises : 1,281

Number of confirmed premises : 234


Cattle holdings: 124

8 cattle holdings were found to be positive from bloodsamples taken last autumn. These holdings are NOT included in the total number
Testing of more cattle-samples from last year revealed positive results of 70% . It is not know yet how what % of positive cows had malformed calves.

Sheep holdings : 105

Preliminary testresults indicate sheep in affected areas probably are positive for 70% or more.


Goat holdings : 5

30 March – Schmallenberg virus: further update to GB testing results

Schmallenberg virus (SBV) infection has been identified on 235 farms. Twenty five of the positive cases have been diagnosed in cattle, 210 in sheep, and none to date in other species such as goats, camelids or deer.

Currently, SBV infection has only been identified in areas predicted to be at risk of midge incursion from Northern Europe during summer / autumn 2011. We cannot rule out the possibility that domestic (local) midges may have transmitted SBV within the affected areas. Domestic midges may have been infected after biting a local animal infected last summer after incursion of continental midges.
