Malformations Caused by Shuni Virus in Ruminants, Israel, 2014–2015 [PDF]
To the Editor: Viruses in the Simbu serogroup are arboviruses that cause abortion, stillbirth, and congenital abnormalities in domestic ruminants. Akabane virus (AKAV), Aino virus (AINV), and Schmallenberg virus are the most studied in this serogroup; Shuni, Sabo, Shamonda, and Sango viruses (1,2) are examined less frequently. Until 2012, only AKAV had

Shuni Virus Replicates at the Maternal-Fetal Interface of the Ovine and Human Placenta [PDF]
Shuni virus (SHUV) is a neglected teratogenic and neurotropic orthobunyavirus that was discovered in the 1960s in Nigeria and was subsequently detected in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Israel.

Shuni virus‐induced meningoencephalitis after experimental infection of cattle [PDF]
Abstract Shuni virus (SHUV), an insect‐transmitted orthobunyavirus of the Simbu serogroup within the family Peribunyaviridae, may induce severe congenital malformations when naïve ruminants are infected during gestation. Only recently, another clinical presentation in cattle, namely neurological disease after postnatal infection, was reported.

Detection of Novel Orthobunyavirus Reassortants in Fatal Neurologic Case in Horse and Culicoides Biting Midges, South Africa [PDF]
We detected Shuni virus in horses and ovine fetuses and Shamonda virus in a caprine fetus in South Africa. We identified a Shuni/Shamonda virus reassortant in a horse and Shuni/Caimito, Shamonda/Caimito, and Shamonda/Sango virus reassortants in ...

Identification and mapping of potential and highly likely vectors for selected vector-borne diseases in the EU and neighbouring countries. [PDF]
Abstract This report addresses Term of Reference 1.2 by providing a comprehensive knowledge‐mapping of arthropod vector species competent to transmit selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) including VBDs listed under Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and Regulation (EU) 2020/687, as well as additional non‐listed pathogens with potential epidemiological relevance.

Simbu Viruses’ Infection of Livestock in Israel—A Transient Climatic Land [PDF]
Important lessons have been learned by the Israeli veterinary community regarding Simbu serogroup viruses infections. This serogroup of viruses might cause the births of neonatal malformation in susceptible ruminant’s populations.

Clinical signs, clinical pathology and outcomes in horses infected naturally with equine encephalosis virus. [PDF]
Abstract Background Equine encephalosis (EE) is caused by an Orbivirus from the family Sedoreoviridae and is thus similar to African horse sickness (AHS) and Bluetongue viruses (BTV). These viruses are transmitted by Culicoides midges. Equine encephalosis can infect horses, donkeys and zebras sub‐clinically while only horses develop clinical disease ...

The Dynamic Transmission of Simbu Group Viruses in New South Wales, Australia. [PDF]
Arthropod‐borne orthobunyaviruses belonging to the Simbu serogroup can cause congenital and neurological disease in livestock. Across Australia, the National Arbovirus Monitoring Program (NAMP) conducts surveillance for veterinary‐important arboviruses.
