A newly identified disease is moving rapidly through livestock in Europe and has authorities both worried and puzzled. The disease, dubbed Schmallenberg virus for a town in west-central Germany where one of the first outbreaks occurred, makes adult animals only mildly ill, but causes lambs, kids and calves to be born dead or deformed.

The United Kingdom’s Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AVHLA) said today that the virus has been found on 29 farms in England; in the past few weeks they found it in sheep, but today announced that they have identified it in cattle as well. In mainland Europe, it has been identified on several hundred farms in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium, and most recently in France. The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control has said that the new virus’s closest relatives do not (yet) cause disease in humans — but that other more distantly related viruses do.

Cr@p. If it kills off the offspring, that is going to cause huge problems for the food supplies in affected countries. And if it makes the jump to humans, that's a truly scary "end of the world" scenario.

They say they can grow meat like a plant...though it willlikely need. Squirt of blood to make it more tasty... Will hit shelves soon as luncheon meat. This is only way to feed us as the poplilation doubles in 40 yrs.

Well I'm "guessing" when you promote cannabalism in your vegetation eating livestock's food chain strange things tend to happen.

Where can I get some of this virus? just a little would take care of my jerk neighbour that shoot my boy Herc. :twised:

OMG! Is he OK? What was the a-hole's excuse for shooting him?

No he's gone, kill shot. Claims he was attacking his cow's which was total BS!
