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 dead and/or malformed calves.

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

There are 266 UK farms reporting SBV: 44 in cattle and 219 in sheep and 3 premises which reported sheep (earlier in the year) and are now also reporting cattle cases.

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.

[Most of the added infected holdings since the previous update of 26 Apr 2012 (see 20120426.1115024) are attributed to the increase of SBV-related cases in cattle farms, as expected. In France, 206 new infected cattle holdings have been detected since 11 May 2012.</P>The German data on cases in roe deer are noteworthy. It will be interesting to obtain data on SBV and other orthobunyavirus- (e.g. Akabane) related congenital malformations in wildlife from other countries.
Antibodies to Akabane virus have been found in the past in, besides large and small domestic ruminants, horses, donkeys, buffalo, deer, camels, and pigs. - Mod.AS]</CVLONGHORNS@AOL.COM>:tiphat:http://www.promedmail.org/?p=2400:1000:4020501424682213:::::

Antibodies against Schmallenberg virus detected in cattle in Denmark

The National Veterinary Institute has found antibodies against Schmallenberg virus in samples from two cattle in southern Jutland. This is the first infection with this new virus is found in Danish livestock.

Two cattle originating from the same herd in southern Jutland have been subjected to Schmallenberg virus that has spread in Europe since the summer of 2011. This is shown in a survey for antibodies made by the National Veterinary Institute.

"This is the first finding that livestock in Denmark has been infected with Schmallenberg virus," says Anette Bøtner that veterinarian and head of Section for Exotic Viral Diseases at the National Veterinary Institute.

The antibodies produced by the immune system, can be traced in the blood for months after an infection with Schmallenberg virus, and the two cattle were probably infected in the autumn by small mosquitoes - midges.

Antibody in two young bulls in VikingGenetics

In connection with blood samples of bulls for semen export, we test all bulls for Schmallenberg. In this
connection we found two bulls younger than 2 years with antibodies. The animals were probably infected
at the Bovlund bull station in the South of Jutland in Denmark since they were there in the infectious
period from 1 June 2011 to 1 December 2011.

Schmallenberg virus detected in Danish farm animals for the first time

The National Veterinary Institute has found Schmallenberg virus in a stillborn calf with malformations in Funen. This is the first time that the virus is found in Danish livestock. Earlier, Denmark has demonstrated antibodies to the virus in cattle, and the virus is detected in midges.

A malformed and stillborn calf from Fyn is the first Danish animal tested positive for Schmallenberg virus. The National Veterinary Institute, examined the calf on the new virus that was spreading in Europe in summer and autumn 2011.

"There may be viewed abortion and especially the birth of deformed kids, lambs and calves from dams that have been infected with Schmallenberg virus during gestation. The mother of the positive calf, tested tested positive for antibodies to Schmallenberg and has probably been infected during gestation in the fall through the small gnats - midges and the virus is transferred to the calf, "says Bertel Strandbygaard, veterinarian at the National Veterinary Institute.

The National Veterinary Institute in agreement with the Food & Drug Administration investigated stillbirths and weak born calves, lambs and kids with deformities of Schmallenberg virus in March, April and May. There were 56 animals studied, and a single calf is thus tested positive for the virus, using the PCR method.

Update: more confirmed holdings in Luxembourg and Spain


A recent and very interesting presentation regarding Schmallenbergvirus from EFSA showed among other things:

- Number of confirmed holdings in Luxembourg : 17 (12)

- Number of confirmed holdings in Spain : 5 (1)


SBV could have spread to more countries.

2013 could show SBV problems comparable to this year, however in previously not affected areas, especially in southern and eastern regions.

Antibodies against Schmallenberg virus was detected in four cows in South Jutland

Four cows from Southern Jutland, which has given birth to deformed calves found positive for antibodies to Schmallenberg virus by National Veterinary Institute. Thus, the number of antibody positive animals in southern Jutland up to six cattle.

National Veterinary Institute has found antibodies against Schmallenberg virus in another four cows from South Jutland.

"Blood samples from the cows have been taken in connection with the spring-born malformed calves. Also calves from three of the four cows have been investigated but have not identified any virus in any of them," says Anette B?tner, the Head and veterinarian at the National Veterinary Institute.

In May, two other cattle from NSW as the first in Denmark tested positive for antibodies when they were tested in relation to exports.

Subsequently, a malformed and stillborn calf from Fyn found positive for the virus Schmallenberg and the dam was found positive for antibodies.

A total of 61 stillborn and weak born calves, lambs and kids with birth defects have been studied for itself Schmallenberg virus, of which only the calf from Fyn is found positive.

National Veterinary Institute has so far examined samples from a total of 95 animals for antibodies, seven were found positive.
