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 296 farms

Update april 20, 2012

Number of suspected premises : 1,538

Number of confirmed premises : 296


Cattle holdings: 183

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 : 107

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


Goat holdings : 6

27 April – Schmallenberg virus: further update on GB testing results

There are now 251 UK farms reporting SBV: 33 in cattle and 218 in sheep.

This is an increase of one farm in cattle. All farms are within the recognised risk counties in England.

The decline in the numbers of reporting farms 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. This is also 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.

Schmallenberg virus: update Italy

14 may, 2012

The "G. Caporale" Institute confirmed the presence of the Schmallenberg virus in midges in Italy:

The presence of virus was confirmed in the vectors of the genus Culicoides in Italy, Belgium and Denmark: 6 pool (Obsoletus complex) collected from September 6 to 25 November 2011, three holdings in Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, two pools (respectively C. obsoletus and C. dewulfi ) caught during the months of September and October 2011 in Belgium and Culicoides captured in October in Denmark.



These results confirm the role of Culicoides in the transmission and spread of the SBV.

To date animals from 7 herds were found to be positive for the Schmallenberg virus.

2 cattle and 5 goatholdings.

18 May ? Schmallenberg virus: further update on GB testing results

There are 258 UK farms reporting SBV: 36 in cattle and 222 in sheep. There are no new reported cases since the 14 May 2012.

We have adjusted some of the current total numbers for the counties where some premises lie close to a county boundary. This has no bearing on the distribution of infection when it occurred last summer or on our assessment of the risk of incursion of potentially infected midges from Continental Europe. It is a consequence of more detailed ongoing work following up affected premises in order to assess impact.
