More SBV cases confirmed
Nearly 200 cases confirmed

The Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA) has announced that the number of confirmed cases of the Schmallenberg Virus (SBV) in UK territory has risen again to a total of 190 farms. Fourteen of these cases have been detected in cattle and 176 have been detected in sheep. Although infections in other species have been detected on the Continent, no infections in deer, camelids or goats have been detected in the UK.

AHVLA has also confirmed the location of the new cases, and that no cases have been confirmed in any new counties. All areas where cases have been confirmed are those identified as being at risk due to midge incursion from infected areas in Northern Europe during the previous summer and autumn.

A full breakdown of the location and nature of the confirmed cases may be found at the AHVLA website.
