Abstract

Schmallenberg virus causes stillbirths in animal populations like cattle, goats, sheep, bison and Alpaca. The first case was reported in Germany in November 2011 in a town called Schmallenberg. Consequently, many more cases were reported all over Europe, in The Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom and France. Here, we elaborate on the recently identified Schmallenberg virus and its pathological outbreak in animals.
