AI Article Synopsis
- - Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) is a non-contagious disease spread by biting midges, primarily affecting ruminants like deer and cattle.
- - In late October and November 2022, EHD outbreaks were confirmed on cattle farms in Sardinia and Sicily, marking the disease's first appearance in Europe.
- - The detection of EHD could lead to serious economic impacts for affected regions due to the loss of their disease-free status and the absence of effective prevention methods.
Article Abstract
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) is a non-contagious arthropod-borne disease transmitted by blood-sucking midges of the genus Culicoides. It affects domestic and wild ruminants, mainly white-tailed deer and cattle. At the end of October and in November 2022, outbreaks of EHD were confirmed in several cattle farms in Sardinia and Sicily. This is the first detection of EHD in Europe. The loss of free status and the lack of effective prophylactic measures could have significant economic consequences for infected countries.
