Schmallenberg Virus has developed in several parts of Europe affecting Cattle and Sheep in Belgium,..France,..Germany,..Netherlands,..and the South of England,..apparently this is a new virus and it will take a year or two to develop a cure. Spring Lambs are born with legs fuzed together and other deforms. http://fazd.tamu.edu/2012/02/vaccine-fo ... tion-says/
Is this something that farmers and herdsmen will have to take unusual methods to prevent it spreading while they develop a vaccine? Jerry
Hi Jerry, i think farmers have had it with this one,..its a new disease/virus and has spread from the south of France to the south of England through the "Midge",..i can not remember if you have them in the USA,..but they are a small fly that bite very similar to the "Mosquito",..the after bite area itches like mad and swells.
