“…The first peak of SBV seroprevalence observed in the winter 2012 was shifted with respect to the peak of midges activity, probably due to the later transmission of SBV into the country in late summer, as suggested by this and previous study (13,15). Using quantitative methods like ELISA, it should be also remembered that the observed seroprevalence does not indicate seroconversion at the time of testing.…”

“…Despite the fact that Poland is often only a transit country, the rest of the areas are located on our territory or close to our borders (Veterinary Officer personal communication), and the imported animals may be the source of infection for our ruminants. Such situation was observed in Bialowieza National Park (Podlaskie province) where up to 100% of European bison have remained SBV seropositive since November 2012 (13). Additionally, the involvement of wildlife as the important reservoirs of SBV needs to be considered when analysing the risk of SBV infection for domestic livestock (22).…”

“…Routine necropsies secure valuable material for other research purposes and some emerging diseases threatening animal and human health can be identified expeditiously (20,23). Surveillance over the health status of free-living animals, particularly the endangered species like European bison, is of great importance both for nature conservation in Poland, as well as for the domestic economy, since controlling infectious diseases in wildlife may help to prevent the transmission of pathogens to livestock (36).…”

“…gov.uk/animal-diseases/files/poa-btv14-20121130.pdf; Larska et al, in prep.). The transmission of a new Orthobunyavirus called Schmallenberg virus (SBV) to the population of Białowieża European bison in 2012 has also been described (23). New threats notwithstanding, since the early beginnings of European bison introduction, have invariably been exposed to parasitic invasions, especially liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) and lungworm Dictyocaulus sp.…”
