Abstract
In June 2026, acute fever, diarrhoea, lethargy and marked reduction of milk yield were reported in dairy cattle in eastern France. Unbiased Nanopore metagenomics on pooled plasma from affected cows detected Simbu serogroup Orthobunyavirus, provisionally named European Shamonda Virus, and recovered complete genomes. Segments L and M clustered with Nigerian Shamonda virus, whereas S showed a distinct clustering pattern, suggesting high mutation rate or reassortment. Similar findings in neighbouring countries indicate cross-border emergence requiring coordinated surveillance.
期刊介绍:
Eurosurveillance is a European peer-reviewed journal focusing on the epidemiology, surveillance, prevention, and control of communicable diseases relevant to Europe.It is a weekly online journal, with 50 issues per year published on Thursdays. The journal includes short rapid communications, in-depth research articles, surveillance reports, reviews, and perspective papers. It excels in timely publication of authoritative papers on ongoing outbreaks or other public health events. Under special circumstances when current events need to be urgently communicated to readers for rapid public health action, e-alerts can be released outside of the regular publishing schedule. Additionally, topical compilations and special issues may be provided in PDF format.
