Simbu Viruses’ Infection of Livestock in Israel—A Transient Climatic Land
Important lessons have been learned by the Israeli veterinary community regarding Simbu serogroup viruses infections. This serogroup of viruses might cause the births of neonatal malformation in susceptible ruminant’s populations. Until 2012, only Akabane virus was connected with the births of malfo...
