| seroprevalence of schmallenberg virus in the united kingdom and the republic of ireland: 2011-2013. | since its identification in late 2011, schmallenberg virus (sbv) spread rapidly across europe. using archived samples from domestic ruminants collected between october 2011 and june 2013, the seroprevalence in the united kingdom (uk) and republic of ireland (ie) was estimated using a serum neutralisation test. there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in seroprevalence between sheep and cows suggesting that neither species is significantly more at risk of sbv infection in the uk. a single 201 ... | 2015 | 26255555 |
| a freedom from disease study: schmallenberg virus in the south of england in 2015. | in 2011-2012, northern european livestock faced a threat from a newly emerged virus, schmallenberg virus (sbv), only a few years after a major outbreak of bluetongue serotype 8 (btv-8). like btv-8, sbv is transmitted by culicoides biting midges to ruminants and spread throughout europe. sbv, however, spread faster, reaching the uk within three months of initial discovery. adult ruminants show only mild, if any, clinical signs; however, infection of naive ruminants by sbv during the vulnerable pe ... | 2016 | 27729590 |
| exposure of asian elephants and other exotic ungulates to schmallenberg virus. | schmallenberg virus (sbv) is an emerging orthobunyavirus, first described in 2011 in cattle in germany and subsequently spread throughout europe, affecting mainly ruminant livestock through the induction of foetal malformations. to gain a better understanding of the spectrum of susceptible species and to assess the value of current sbv serological assays, screening of serum samples from exotic artiodactyls and perissodactyls collected at the living collections from the zoological society of lond ... | 2015 | 26274399 |
| does covering of farm-associated culicoides larval habitat reduce adult populations in the united kingdom? | culicoides biting midges (diptera: ceratopogonidae) are the biological vectors of a range of internationally important arboviruses of livestock, including bluetongue virus (btv) and the recently emerging schmallenberg virus (sbv). culicoides species in the subgenus avaritia (in the uk: culicoides obsoletus meigen, culicoides scoticus downes & kettle, culicoides dewulfi goetghebuer and culicoides chiopterus meigen) have been implicated in btv transmission in northern europe and to a varying degre ... | 2013 | 24472769 |
