Article Description

Schmallenberg virus (SBV), a novel orthobunyavirus that rapidly spread throughout north-western Europe in 2011, caused congenital malformations in lambs and goat kids ( Van den Brom et al., 2012 ) and newborn calves ( Hoffmann et al., 2012 ). The impact of the SBV epidemic seemed limited however, in terms of the number of affected herds with malformed offspring ( European Food Safety Authority, 2012b ). Nevertheless, little is known with regard to the overall within-herd impact of SBV infection. The objective of the current study was to quantify the impact of the 2011 SBV epidemic on the productivity of dairy cattle in the Netherlands and the district of Kleve, Germany.
