摘要: In 2011, European ruminant flocks were infected by Schmallenberg virus (SBV) leading to transient disease in adult cattle but abortions and congenital deformities calves, lambs, goat kids. SBV belonging the Simbu serogroup (family Bunyaviridae genus Orthobunyavirus) was first discovered same region where bluetongue serotype 8 (BTV-8) emerged 5 years before. Both viruses are transmitted biting midges (Culicoides spp.) share several similarities. This paper describes current knowledge of temporal geographical spread, molecular virology, transmission susceptible species, clinical signs, diagnosis, prevention control, impact on health, productivity infection Europe, compares with BTV-8 ruminants.
