I'm not surprised, schmallenberg will continue to circulate, those who are on the periphery will have sporadic infections unless animals are vaccinated either naturally or using a vaccine.

BTV has a much higher mortality rate ( affecting not only lambs in utero) but  adults as much as lambs.
Anyone know the incidence of resistance following infection with BTV, for those that survive of course?
