Schmallenberg virus: an update

Abstract: Much has been learned about Schmallenberg virus since it first appeared in Northern Europe three years ago, but a number of uncertainties remain. This article looks at what has happened over the past 12 months and where that leaves us for the coming year.

“…The present results suggest that BoHV‐1 may be responsible for the abortions observed in buffaloes. As to the calf with hind limb deformity, viruses other than BoHV‐1 have been described as possible causes of malformation (Roger 2015), and BoHV‐1 has never been associated with cases of limb deformity. Since liver and brain of the euthanased calf tested positive for BoHV‐1 in real‐time PCR, we could ascribe responsibility for the malformation to the virus, speculating that the infection had occurred during pregnancy at the time of limb genesis, probably engendering a teratogenic effect on the fetus.…”
