      23 March ? Schmallenberg virus: further update on GB testing results

      Schmallenberg virus (SBV) infection has been identified on 209 farms.

      Seventeen of the positive cases have been diagnosed in cattle, 192 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.

      Disease has been reported in one new county, Bedfordshire, as well as in Jersey (Channel Islands).

        France: Schmalllenberg virus confirmed in 894 farms

        23 march, 2012

        According to the French Ministry of Agriculture, the Schmallenberg virus was found in 894 farms: 824 sheepholdings, 59 cattle -, 9 goatholdings and 2 mixed holdings with goats/sheep.

        44 departments are affected.


        Présence du virus de Schmallenberg en France

        23 mars 2012

        La présence du virus de Schmallenberg vient d’être confirmée dans 70 nouvelles exploitations.

        Au total ce sont 894 élevages qui sont donc touchés dans 44 départements (01, 02, 03, 08, 10, 14, 16, 17, 18, 21, 23, 24, 27, 36, 37, 41, 45, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 76, 79, 80, 86, 87, 88, 89).

        Il s’agit essentiellement d’élevages ovins, mais on compte 59 élevages bovins, 9 élevages caprins et 2 élevage ovin/caprin.

        La lutte contre les maladies des animaux est une priorité et se fait grâce à l’intervention de l’Etat par des actions concertées, collectives, systématiques et des moyens financiers, techniques et humains.

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.

                                5 April: Schmallenberg virus further updates on GB testing results

                                There are now 239 UK farms reporting SBV: 25 in cattle and 214 in sheep – this is an increase of only one farm since the last update. These all continue to be within the recognised risk counties in England.

                                As expected there has been a decline in the numbers of reporting farms in the last week. This is in line with all EU Member States where the sheep reports have declined as lambing in “at risk” sheep, (those at a critical time of gestation when infection can impact on the foetus), draws to an end and in line with Defra’s own predictions considering UK farming practices and estimated time of infection occurring in the UK. We continue to expect to see cases in cattle into early summer.
