    There are 276 UK farms reporting SBV: 53 in cattle, 220 in sheep and 3 premises which reported sheep (earlier in the year) and are now also reporting cattle cases. There are no new reported cases since the 25 July 2012. All farms are within the recognised risk counties in England.

            Update Schmallenberg virus in Switzerland

            Situation untill august 26 2012

            After the testing of aborted or malformed calves and lambs, Schmallenberg virus was found in 75 holdings in Switzerland.

            Adult cattle showing symptoms of fever and diarrhea was tested in 97 farms, 90 turned out to be positive.


            Schmallenberg: Untersuchte Proben und Nachweise

            Aus den Abort- und Missgeburten-Meldungen sind bis zum 26. August 2012 beim Institut f?r Viruskrankheiten und Immunprophylaxe (IVI) Einsendungen von insgesamt 75 Betrieben aus 19 verschiedenen Kantonen eingegangen. Es wurden insgesamt 78 Tiere diagnostisch abgekl?rt: 41 Rinder, 23 Schafe und 14 Ziegen. Bisher wurden 2 missgebildete K?lber positiv auf das Schmallenberg-Virus getestet.

            Bei den Untersuchungen von ausgewachsenen Rindern, welche akute Symptome wie Fieber und Durchfall zeigen, sind 90 von 97 getesteten Betrieben positiv. Entweder liess sich dort das Virus selber nachweisen, oder es wurden Antik?rper nachgewiesen, die auf eine Infektion schliessen lassen.

              Schmallenberg virus spreading in France

              Acute SBV detected in Bretagne, a very important diary region.

              Farmers saw their dairy cattle develop diarrhea, combined with a drop in production.

              Testresults confirmed: SBV.

              Not very surprising, experts expected the virus to spread to other regions in Europe, including additional parts in the United Kingdom.

              Untill recently Bretange was free from SBV. (link to map).

              Schmallenberg virus ‘to hit all of Britain’

              Experts have warned that the Schmallenberg virus could spread across the whole of Britain this year.

              The virus, which causes severe birth defects and miscarriages in livestock, first appeared in the Netherlands and Germany last year.

                    19 September-Enhanced surveillance detects acute Schmallenberg in cattle in southern England

                    The Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA) has detected evidence of acute Schmallenberg virus disease in adult dairy cattle in four counties in southern England this Summer. The affected counties ? Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset and Oxfordshire ? are in the known Schmallenberg-affected area.

                    AHVLA

                    Simon Hall, Veterinary Director at AHVLA, said:

                    ?Our findings indicate that the Schmallenberg virus has survived the winter and is
                    being actively spread by midges in these, and possibly other, areas. Although we
                    have seen a relatively limited impact from the disease on British farms, we recognise
                    the concern it causes for farmers whose livestock are affected.

                    ?Clinical signs in adult livestock are short-lived and the disease is not fatal. We
                    believe there will be a good level of immunity in animals that were infected in 2011.
                    Female animals that develop immunity before they become pregnant are unlikely to
                    give birth to affected offspring.?

                      IMHO this confirms the further spread of the Schmallenberg virus to new regions. This can be seen on the map.

                          Update Schmallenberg virus in Switzerland

                          Situation untill september 16 2012

                          After the testing of aborted or malformed calves and lambs, Schmallenberg virus was found in 76 holdings in Switzerland. SBV was confirmed in 79 animals: 43 in cattle, 22 in sheep and 14 in goats.

                          Adult cattle showing symptoms of fever and diarrhea was tested in 138 farms, 135 turned out to be positive.


                          Schmallenberg: Untersuchte Proben und Nachweise

                          Aus den Meldungen von Missbildungen bei Neugeborenen und F?ten sind bis zum 16. September 2012 beim Institut f?r Viruskrankheiten und Immunprophylaxe (IVI) Einsendungen von insgesamt 76 Betrieben aus 20 verschiedenen Kantonen und dem F?rstentum Liechtenstein eingegangen. Es wurden insgesamt 79 Tiere diagnostisch abgekl?rt: 43 Rinder, 22 Schafe und 14 Ziegen. Bisher wurden 4 missgebildete K?lber positiv auf das Schmallenberg-Virus getestet.

                          Bei den Untersuchungen von ausgewachsenen Rindern, welche akute Symptome wie Fieber und Durchfall zeigen, sind 135 von 138 getesteten Betrieben positiv. Entweder liess sich dort das Virus selber nachweisen, oder es wurden Antik?rper nachgewiesen, die auf eine Infektion schliessen lassen.

                            Schmallenberg virus found in livestock in Wales

                            Philip Case

                            Tuesday 25 September 2012

                            Welsh farmers are being urged to be vigilant after the Schmallenberg virus was detected in animals in the country for the first time.

                            The virus, which causes severe deformities in lambs and calves, was detected in three cows and one calf in Ceredigion.

                            The Farmers' Union of Wales (FUW) described the development as "very concerning".

                            The history of the three animals suggested they were infected by SBV while on the holding, up to a year ago.

                              Austria confirms SBV in cattle and sheep. Antibodies were found in september.

                              Schmallenberg-Infektion erstmals in &#246;sterreichischen Tierbest&#228;nden nachgewiesen

                              Das sich seit Ende 2011 in ganz Europa ausbreitende neuartige Schmallenberg-Virus (SBV) hat nun auch &#214;sterreichs Tierbest&#228;nde erreicht. Mitte September hat die AGES im Rahmen des seit Anfang 2012 eingerichteten Monitorings SBV-Antik&#246;rper in Rindern und Schafen nachgewiesen.

                                Schmallenbergvirus all over Austria

                                25 september 2012

                                SBV seems to have spread rapidly in the end of august, beginning of september.

                                89% of the tested holdings were positive.

                                Untill now no reports of ill animals (diarrhea, fever, drop in milk production).


                                Schmallenberg-Virus fl?chendeckend in ?sterreich



                                Foto ? APA
                                Das in Europa grassierende Schmallenberg-Virus (SBV) hat ?sterreichs Tierbest?nde erreicht. Laut Agentur f?r Gesundheit und Ern?hrungssicherheit (AGES) hat sich ein Gro?teil der Rinder und Schafe im gesamten Bundesgebiet infiziert. Ein Prozent der angesteckten Rinder und vier Prozent der infizierten Schafe bringen ihre Jungtiere als Folge des Virus missgebildet oder tot zur Welt.

                                Seit Ende vergangenen Jahres breitet sich die neuartige Tierseuche in Europa aus. Betroffene Tiere bauen nach einer kurzen Erkrankung, die sich meist durch milde klinische Symptome ausdr?ckt und vom Tierhalter oft ?bersehen wird, eine best?ndige k?rpereigene Immunabwehr auf. Die AGES f?hrt seit Jahresbeginn ein Monitoring durch. F?r Menschen stellt das Virus laut den Experten kein Risiko dar.

                                Im ersten Halbjahr tauchte in ?sterreich kein einziger Fall einer SBV-Infektion auf. Seit Ende August/Anfang September aber "hat sich das Virus sehr rasch und ?sterreichweit verbreitet", sagte ein Experte der AGES auf APA-Anfrage: Mit Stand von heute, Dienstag, seien 89 Prozent der untersuchten Proben - Verdachtsproben ebenso wie solche aus dem Monitoringprogramm - positiv ausgefallen. Bisher wurden ausschlie?lich Infektionen festgestellt und noch keine Erkrankung, die sich bei den Tieren mit Fieber, Durchf?llen und verminderter Milchleistung ?u?ert.
