New Shamonda virus identified in Jersey cattle

Original: shamonda virus

A new cattle disease has been identified in Jersey, linked to the Shamonda virus, a member of the Simbu serogroup of viruses transmitted by biting midges. The find has drawn attention because related viruses in this group, such as Schmallenberg virus, have previously caused significant outbreaks in European livestock, affecting fertility and causing deformities in newborn calves.

Why now: Fresh reports of a newly identified livestock disease in Jersey have raised concern among farmers and the agriculture industry.
