Abstract

Epizootic haemorrhagic disease (EHD) is a viral disease transmitted by Culicoides biting midges that affects wild and domestic ruminants. The causative agent, EHD virus (EHDV), belongs to the family Sedoreoviridae, genus Orbivirus. The virus has never been reported in Europe until October 2022, when the virus was for the first time detected in Sicily and Sardinia. After the first clinical cases, an intensive entomological field activity was carried out in five EHD affected farms located in Sardinia, with the aim of assessing the EHDV vector competence in European species of Culicoides. EHDV‑8 was detected in C. imicola, C. obsoletus/scoticus, C. newsteadi, C. pulicaris ss, and C. bysta. The first 4 species have also been demonstrated to be able to transmit bluetongue virus (BTV). According to these results, it is likely that EHDV‑8, sharing the same transmission patterns of BTV, can also spread to Europe.

负责在意大利传播8型流行性出血热病毒（EHDV）的库蚊属物种。

流行性出血性疾病（EHD）是一种由食蚊叮咬侏儒传播的病毒性疾病，影响野生和家养反刍动物。病原体EHD病毒（EHDV）属于Sedoreviride科Orbivirus属。直到2022年10月，西西里岛和撒丁岛首次检测到该病毒，欧洲才报告过该病毒。在第一例临床病例发生后，在撒丁岛五个受EHD影响的农场进行了密集的昆虫学实地活动，目的是评估欧洲库蚊物种的EHDV媒介能力。在米曲霉、奥氏锥虫/斯科特氏锥虫、纽斯特迪锥虫、普利卡氏锥虫和毕斯塔锥虫中检测到EHDV‑8。前4个物种也被证明能够传播蓝舌病毒（BTV）。根据这些结果，与BTV具有相同传播模式的EHDV‑8很可能也会传播到欧洲。

期刊介绍： The journal was created as the Croce Azzurra in 1950. A quarterly peer-reviewed journal devoted to veterinary public health and other aspects of veterinary science and medicine, Veterinaria Italiana is published by the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale dell’Abruzzo e del Molise ‘G. Caporale’ (Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale dell''Abruzzo e del Molise) in Teramo, Italy. The goal of the journal is to provide an international platform for veterinary public health information from Italy and other countries, particularly those in Eastern Europe and Africa, Asia and South America. Veterinarians and veterinary public health specialists are encouraged to share their knowledge and experience on this platform.
