SBV is a recently discovered pathogen of livestock such as cattle, sheep and goats. The researchers have laid bare important ways by which this virus causes disease. The full report about the study publishes on January 10 in the Open Access journal, PLOS Pathogens. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-01-scientists-schmallenberg-virus-genome-disease.html Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:00:04 EST news277046121
