The actual path of the virus this year........taken from statistics of deformed/ problems out of the ordinary kids.........seems to be Kent, Sussex, along the south into Dorset, some unexplained issues in Devon. Then through the middle of UK along Welsh borders. It seems to have moved in a sort of diagonal fashion across UK.
Scotland is far from being the only area affected. It is true that a number of reports may not have been Schmallenberg but these came from reputable sources who have never experienced such issues before..................so this must be taken into account.
I too, had a couple of kids with problems that certainly fitted the SBV symptoms but as they were born in January, it never crossed my mind at the time.
