Genomic Detection of Schmallenberg Virus, Israel

Emerg Infect Dis. 2021 Aug;27(8):2197-2200. doi: 10.3201/eid2708.203705.ABSTRACTWe discuss genomic detection of Schmallenberg virus in both Culicoides midges and affected ruminants during June 2018-December 2019, demonstrating its circulation in Israel. This region is a geographic bridge between 3 continents and may serve as an epidemiologic bridge for potential Schmallenberg virus spread into Asia.PMID:34287129 | DOI:10.3201/eid2708.203705
