Abstract:

Schmallenberg disease is a newly emerged arboviral disease in Europe since the summer of 2011.The causative agent of the disease is Schmallenberg virus (SBV) which primarily infects ruminants such as sheep,cattle and goats.The virus can cause declines in the production performance of adult animals,and lead to abortions in pregnant animals and severe fetal malformations or stillbirths.To date,there has been no report of SBV infection in China.In order to enhance the awareness of the disease and to provide the related departments of our country with scientific bases for the prevention and control of this disease,the latest research progress in the aspects of etiology,epidemiology,clinical symptoms,pathogenesis and pathologic changes,quarantine and diagnosis,early warning,prevention and control of the disease will be summarized in this review.
