Abstract/Summary

Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is a recently emerged Orthobunyavirus of ruminants originally discovered in 2011 near the town of Schmallenberg in Germany (Hoffmann and others 2012). SBV appears to have entered Europe in the summer of 2011 and has since spread rapidly across much of central and northern Europe. Seroprevalence in some areas has been reported close to 100 per cent (Tarlinton and others 2012, Meroc and others 2013). Viruses closely related to SBV are known to be transmitted by Culicoides biting midges (Jennings and Mellor 1989), and field studies have shown the presence of SBV RNA in Culicoides species in several affected countries (Rasmussen and others 2012, Elbers and others 2013).
