Germany: Robert Koch Institute is testing blood of sheperds

5 maart 2012

Bloodsamples of 61 sheperds from SBV positive holdings in Nordrhein-Westfalen are being tested on antibodies against the Schmallenberg-virus.
There no indications of sheperd or other persons with healthproblems related to SBV.

Although at the moment nothing points to possible human infections, the RKI wants to be sure, the research is a precaution.

Placenta's and other material may contain a huge viral load, sheperds with infected sheep could have come in touch with that.


Auch wenn es bisher keine Anhaltspunkte f?r eine Gef?hrdung des Menschen durch das Schmallenberg-Virus gibt, f?hrt das Robert Koch-Institut als Vorsichtsma?nahme eine Untersuchung bei besonders exponierten Personen durch, um zu kl?ren, ob es in Einzelf?llen zu Infektionen kommen kann oder nicht.

Am 29.02.2012 wurden am Rande einer Informationsveranstaltung f?r betroffene Sch?fer in Nordrhein-Westfalen Befragungen durchgef?hrt und Blutproben abgenommen. F?r diese Studie hat das RKI Labortests zum Nachweis des Virus bzw. der entsprechenden humanen Antik?rper entwickelt.

Die anwesenden Sch?fer unterst?tzen das wissenschaftliche Anliegen des RKI. Die Teilnahme war sehr hoch und 61 betroffene Sch?fer haben sich dazu bereit erkl?rt. Es gab bei den Befragungen vor Ort keine Verdachtsmomente, dass dieses Virus die Sch?fer erkrankt hat. Die Blutproben werden derzeit im Labor des RKI untersucht. Nach der Auswertung der Proben sind verl?sslichere Aussagen m?glich.
