DOI: 10.1007/s00705-017-3398-x
Abstract: Akabane disease is a viral disease transmitted by biting midges and can cause teratogenic malformations in cattle, sheep and goats. Abortion outbreaks associated with arthrogryposis and cerebellar hypoplasia in two epidemiologically independent flocks were reported… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jcpa.2017.05.003
Abstract: In 2010, there was a large-scale outbreak of bovine encephalomyelitis in Korea, and 15 new strains of Akabane virus (AKAV) were isolated. To identify the pathogenicity of one of these strains, we infected adult goats… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12985-025-02819-2
Abstract: Akabane virus (AKAV) is divided into five genogroups (I to V), and strains of different genogroups exhibit marked differences in pathogenicity. We isolated a genogroup II AKAV strain, TJ2016, in China in 2016, but its… read more here.

DOI: 10.1556/004.2023.00764
Abstract: Congenital malformations occur sporadically in cattle; however, congenital structural and functional disorders of the nervous system are rather common in ruminants. Among the numerous causes of congenital nervous system defects, infectious agents are highlighted in… read more here.
