INDEX EDITORIALThe BENV as a tool for disseminating information

Dear readers

this new issue of BENV will keep you company in the cold winter months with new interesting articles

In the section In recent months an article on Bluetongue presents the updated epidemiological situation of the outbreaks in Italy During 2016 BTV4 spread to areas not affected by viral circulation in previous years outbreaks were notified not only in central and southern Italy but also in the north The first outbreak reported outside the area affected by 2015 BTV4 circulation was confirmed on 4th June 2016 in Potenza (Basilicata region) Then the virus spread progressively to the north the first BTV4 outbreak was confirmed in a free grazing sheep on the 30th August in Veneto between Belluno and Treviso provinces Up to the 18th October a total of 161 outbreaks were notified in Belluno Treviso Vicenza Padova e Trento

The first confirmation of Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) in the European Union was in Greece on August 20th 2015 counting 117 outbreaks in 7 different Regional Units (RUs) After an interval of 4 months (December 2015 ndash April 2016) without any new outbreaks during which the vaccination campaign was in progress LSD re-emerged in Greece in April in Central Macedonia Region close to the borders with Bulgaria where vaccination coverage was low The disease distributed to the east and the west in RUs with high vaccination coverage giving sporadic outbreaks and then it ldquojumpedrdquo to the peninsula of Peloponnesus far away from the other affected areas Overall the epidemic lasted from April to August 2016 98 outbreaks were confirmed in 12 RUrsquos and approximately 5500 bovine animals have been culled This second LSD epidemic is described in the section Around us of the Benv

In the same section another article is focused on Crimean Congo Haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) a widespread disease caused by a tick-borne virus of the genus Nairovirus The first evidence of CCHF in western Europe was documented in Spain with two cases of infection Both cases were confirmed by PCR at the Spanish National Centre for Microbiology and represent The European Centre for Disease prevention and control (ECDC) recently published a rapid risk assessment on CCHF taking into account the risk for tick-borne transmission the risk for nosocomial transmission and the risk for transmission via substances of human origin suggesting different options of action For more information we invite you to consult the document on the ECDC website

The distribution of the main animal diseases occurred in Italy up to the third quarter 2016 is shown in the section A look to the maps The Hand on Data section shows the data on the outbreaks of animal diseases the health status of the regions and the animal species involved in the outbreaks reported to SIMAN up to September 2016 In addition to BTV4 spread in Italy well described in the section In recent months Aethina tumida reoccurred from July to September counting 34 outbreaks in Calabria region The trend of Equine infectious Anaemia is stable with most of the outbreaks reported from March to July Also five outbreaks of Antrax were notified in the central-south of Italy Basilicata Abruzzo Lazio and Sicilia the regions involved

The Officially free territories section has been updated in agreement with Commission implementing Decision (EU) 20161811 of 11th October 2016 amending Annex II to Decision 9352EEC as regards the recognition of the Province of Brindisi in the Region Puglia of Italy as officially free of brucellosis (B melitensis)

IN THESE MONTHSThe main events of epidemiological interest in the lastmonths in Italy and in the European Union

Epidemiological situation of Blue tongue in Italyin 2016In 2014 eastern Europe experienced a big Blue tongue (BT) epidemic due to serotype 4 (BTV4) At the same time BTV1 was circulating in Italy causing many outbreaks of the disease In October 2014 at the end of the epidemic season BTV4 was detected in southern Italy in Apulia region During 2015 in Italy was documented a residual BTV1 circulation (clinical cases were reported only in January) and BTV4 spread to Calabria Sicily Campania Lazio and Basilicata regions (Figures 1 and 2)

During 2016 BTV4 spread to areas not affected by viral circulation in previous years outbreaks have been notified not only in the Regions of central and southern Italy (Calabria Sicily Campania Lazio Basilicata Abruzzo Molise Marche Umbria Emilia Romagna Sardinia) but also in Tuscany Veneto and the Autonomous Province of Trento (Figure 3 Table 1)

The first outbreak notified outside the affected area by the circulation of BTV 4 in 2015 was confirmed in the province of Potenza (Basilicata region) on 4th June 2016

Starting from June the virus spread progressively to the north affecting several Provinces of central and southern Italy (Figure 1)

On August 30 2016 was confirmed by the National Reference Center the first outbreak of BTV-4 in sheep grazing in the Veneto region between Belluno and Treviso provinces Since the first positivity and until the 18 October 2016 in Northern Italy 161 outbreaks have been confirmed in the provinces of Belluno Treviso Vicenza Padova and Trento The last epidemic of BT in Northern Italy had been documented in 2008-2009 due to serotype 8

The graph shows the timeline of the viral circulation of BTV4 during 2016 most of the outbreaks was recorded in the summer-autumn period in which the epidemic spread to areas previously free In 2016 clinical outbreaks due to BTV1 were not notified while a large number of clinical cases due to BTV4 has been confirmed The median morbidity detected in every outbreak of BTV4 is 621 (25th and 75th percentiles 238 and 1244)

In 75 of the outbreaks of BTV4 the mortality value is less than 318

The first confirmation of Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) in European Union was in Greece on August 20th 2015 (East Macedonia and Thrace Region Regional Unit (RU) of Evros) in two herds of free grazing cattle in close proximity to the Greek-Turkish borders Until the end of December 2015 the disease had been spread to the west counting 117 outbreaks in 7 different RUsrsquo (Evros Xanthi Kavala Lesvos Island Rodopi Chalkidiki and Thessaloniki) at the Northern-East part of Greece (167) In total 6085 animals were killed This ldquofirst waverdquo of the disease lasted for 18 weeks (based on the date of confirmation)

Emergency Vaccination had been decided by Greek Veterinary Authorities in cooperation with the European Commission since the beginning of the disease started on 5th September 2015 at Evros RU Measures described in Directive 92119EEC and in the National Contingency Plan were also applied to all RUrsquos where outbreaks had been confirmed including zoning (surveillance and protection zones) stamping out and sanitary burial on the spot in affected holdings movement controls disinfection and vector control (3)

Also Commissionrsquos Implementing Decision (EU) 20151500 as it has been modified by Implementing Decision (EU) 20152055 has been applied to all Regional Units which have been characterized as Restricted Zones (4 5) These measures included mainly restrictions on movements of the vaccinated animals and also of fresh meat hides milk dairy products and meat products coming from vaccinated animals

There was an interval of 4 months (15 December 2015 ndash 6 April 2016) without any new outbreaks (more than 4 incubation periods) and while the vaccination campaign was in progress (Figure 1)

AROUND USThe main events of epidemiological interest in the last months in the European Union and in the neighbour countries

Re-emergence of Lumpy Skin Disease in Greece April to August 2016

In the entire Greece passive and active surveillance was implemented and included

bull clinical examination of bovines in the protection and the surveillance zones bull clinical examination of bovines before vaccination against LSD and during the

implementation of other eradication and control programs bull laboratory investigation of the suspected cases

The findings of the surveillance confirmed the absence of LSD outbreaks during this period

Nevertheless on 6th of April 2016 the disease re-emerged in Greece in the RU of Serres in Central Macedonia Region close to the borders with Bulgaria where vaccination coverage was low (40 of bovine population) due to low availability of vaccines at that time In almost all cases (with an exception of one herd) it affected herds that were unvaccinated or vaccinated during the incubation period of the disease

The disease distributed to the east and to the west in RUs with high vaccination coverage close to 100 where it affected some herds which had remained unvaccinated (backyard family herds and free grazing herds) giving some sporadic outbreaks (3 in RU of Drama 4 in RU of Thessaloniki 3 in RU of Kavala and 1 in RU of Kilkis) (16) Then the disease crossed the high vaccinated areas (asymp100) of RU of Thessaloniki and Kilkis and entered RUrsquos of Pella and Imathia where the vaccination coverage was low

On 15th of July the disease ldquojumpedrdquo to the peninsula of Peloponissos in RU of Achaia far away from the other affected areas Up until today it remains the only outbreak in the area and no connection with previous outbreaks has been identified yet according to epidemiological surveys

During this ldquosecond waverdquo of the disease (April ndashAugust 2016) 98 outbreaks have been confirmed in 12 RUrsquos and approximately 5500 bovine animals have been culled (Table 1 and Figure 2)

Vaccination Campaign

Emergency vaccination for all susceptible species with homologous live attenuated virus vaccines decided since the beginning of the disease Two homologous live attenuated virus vaccines have been approved for import and used in Greece ldquoLumpy Skin Disease Vaccine for Cattlerdquo (Onderstepoort Biological Products South Africa) and ldquoLumpyvaxrdquo (MSD Animal Health Intervet South Africa)

Vaccination campaign started on 5 September 2015 in RU of Evros However soon after the confirmation of the disease it was extended to all other affected RUrsquos In November 2015 it was also extended to free RU (Thessaloniki Kilkis Serres Drama) in order to create a buffer zone The vaccination campaign extended to the rest of the Greece following the epidemiological evolution of the disease Up until August 2016 approximately 385000 bovine animals have been vaccinated for the first time During the same period the annual booster vaccination had started in RUrsquos of Evros Rodopi and Xanthi

Today vaccination campaign has been implemented to the entire mainland of Greece and also to Limnos Island where the disease re-emerged on 13 of June 2016

Despite vaccination campaign total stamping out policy is still implemented in vaccinated herds located in areas with high vaccination coverage due to EU legislation (Directive 92119EEC) Taken into consideration EFSArsquos recent opinion when vaccination is evenly applied so that 95 of the farms are vaccinated with 75 of vaccinated animals effectively protected then total stamping out and partial stamping out result in a similar probability of eradication of infection (2)

bull vaccination was an effective measure for the control of the spread the disease and where it has been implemented before the appearance of the disease only few sporadic outbreaks occurred in unvaccinated animals

bull there is a need of amendment of legislation as regards the stamping out policy in vaccinated herds in order to be replaced by partial stamping out of affected animals c) the strict measures implemented to vaccinated animals and their products was an obstacle to convince farmers on the benefits of vaccination

bull cooperation and exchange of information among affected Countries is a key for the investigation of the epidemiology of the disease

First evidences of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in Western Europe (Spain)

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a widespread disease caused by a tick-borne virus of the genus Nairovirus The CCHF virus (CCHFV) causes severe haemorrhagic fever outbreaks The transmission is possible either by bite from infected ticks of the family Ixodidae and genus Hyalomma that are the principal vectors nevertheless a number of tick genera is capable of becoming infected with virus (Estrada-Pena et al 2012) CCHFV can also be transmitted by direct contact with blood or tissues from viremic livestock (Ftika et al 2013 Leblebicioglu et al 2016) The hosts of CCHFV include a wide range of wild and domestic animals such as cattle sheep and goats Animals generally become infected by the bite of infected ticks

People involved in livestock industry such as veterinarians slaughterhouse workers and agricultural workers constitute the most exposed category to CCHFV Person-to-person and nosocomial transmission is occasional but not unusual for CCHFV infection when risk is higher for the higher viral loads during the later stages of the disease (Celikbas et al 2014 Parlak et al 2015)

In Africa Balkans Middle East and Asian countries where CCHF is endemic seven genotypes have been recognized by genetic analysis In the European Union countries sporadic cases have been reported in Bulgaria and Greece (ECDC 2013 Papa et al 2008) while in the Balkans CCHFV has a widespread distribution In the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region Turkey remains the most affected country

The incubation period ranges may be different according to the type of transmission and viral load (Vorou et al 2007 Nabeth et al 2007) After tick bite transmission the incubation period is almost one to three days while after exposure to infected blood or bodily fluids may range between three and seven days This period can be shorter depending to viral load from infected blood (Naderi et al 2013) Symptoms of CCHF in humans include high fever muscle pain dizziness photophobia abdominal pain diarrhoea vomiting and in severe cases systemic haemorrhage (ECDC 2016)

On 31 August 2016 two cases of infection with CCHFV were reported in Madrid giving the first evidence of the disease in Spain The first case was a man of 62 years who likely got infected through a tick-bite while hiking around the community of San Juan del Molinillo (Avilla) Interestingly the virus was identified in Hyalomma lusitanicum in western Spain close to the border with Portugal (Estrada-Pena et al 2012) After first symptoms the man was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Infanta Leonor Hospital in Madrid Afterwards the man was transferred to a high-level isolation ICU at the Gregorio Marantildeoacuten Hospital in Madrid where he died on 25 August 2016 (Figure 1)

Figure 1The first evidence of CCHF virus in Spain

Avilla Spain first place where the patient most likely got infected through a tick-bite

Intensive care unit (ICU) of the Infanta Leonor Hospital Madrid where the first case was hospitalized and the second case was exposed

High-level isolation ICU at the Gregorio Marantildeoacuten Hospital Madrid where the first case was transferred)

Unfortunately one healthcare worker who took care of the CCHF affected patient while he was hospitalized in the ICU developed symptoms a few days later and was hospitalized presenting severe disease but with favourable evolution Both cases were confirmed by PCR at the Spanish National Centre for Microbiology

Both cases represent the first detection of autochthonous infection of CCHF in Spain and Western Europe

The European Centre for Disease prevention and control (ECDC) published on 8th September 2106 a Rapid risk assessment on CCHF The document takes into account the risk for tick-borne transmission the risk for nosocomial transmission and the risk for transmission via substances of human origin suggesting different options of action

Recent detection of CCHFV in ticks from the autonomous Community of Extremadura in western Spain indicates the circulation of CCHF virus among wildlife Therefore the occurrence of CCHFV infection is not an unexpected event in Spain Nosocomial transmission of CCHF can occur even in a non-endemic region when appropriate infection prevention and control (IPC) measures have not been observed The probability of CCHF virus infection in Spain is low However other sporadic cases are possible

INDEX EDITORIALThe BENV as a tool for disseminating information

Dear readers

this new issue of BENV will keep you company in the cold winter months with new interesting articles

In the section In recent months an article on Bluetongue presents the updated epidemiological situation of the outbreaks in Italy During 2016 BTV4 spread to areas not affected by viral circulation in previous years outbreaks were notified not only in central and southern Italy but also in the north The first outbreak reported outside the area affected by 2015 BTV4 circulation was confirmed on 4th June 2016 in Potenza (Basilicata region) Then the virus spread progressively to the north the first BTV4 outbreak was confirmed in a free grazing sheep on the 30th August in Veneto between Belluno and Treviso provinces Up to the 18th October a total of 161 outbreaks were notified in Belluno Treviso Vicenza Padova e Trento

The first confirmation of Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) in the European Union was in Greece on August 20th 2015 counting 117 outbreaks in 7 different Regional Units (RUs) After an interval of 4 months (December 2015 ndash April 2016) without any new outbreaks during which the vaccination campaign was in progress LSD re-emerged in Greece in April in Central Macedonia Region close to the borders with Bulgaria where vaccination coverage was low The disease distributed to the east and the west in RUs with high vaccination coverage giving sporadic outbreaks and then it ldquojumpedrdquo to the peninsula of Peloponnesus far away from the other affected areas Overall the epidemic lasted from April to August 2016 98 outbreaks were confirmed in 12 RUrsquos and approximately 5500 bovine animals have been culled This second LSD epidemic is described in the section Around us of the Benv

In the same section another article is focused on Crimean Congo Haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) a widespread disease caused by a tick-borne virus of the genus Nairovirus The first evidence of CCHF in western Europe was documented in Spain with two cases of infection Both cases were confirmed by PCR at the Spanish National Centre for Microbiology and represent The European Centre for Disease prevention and control (ECDC) recently published a rapid risk assessment on CCHF taking into account the risk for tick-borne transmission the risk for nosocomial transmission and the risk for transmission via substances of human origin suggesting different options of action For more information we invite you to consult the document on the ECDC website

The distribution of the main animal diseases occurred in Italy up to the third quarter 2016 is shown in the section A look to the maps The Hand on Data section shows the data on the outbreaks of animal diseases the health status of the regions and the animal species involved in the outbreaks reported to SIMAN up to September 2016 In addition to BTV4 spread in Italy well described in the section In recent months Aethina tumida reoccurred from July to September counting 34 outbreaks in Calabria region The trend of Equine infectious Anaemia is stable with most of the outbreaks reported from March to July Also five outbreaks of Antrax were notified in the central-south of Italy Basilicata Abruzzo Lazio and Sicilia the regions involved

The Officially free territories section has been updated in agreement with Commission implementing Decision (EU) 20161811 of 11th October 2016 amending Annex II to Decision 9352EEC as regards the recognition of the Province of Brindisi in the Region Puglia of Italy as officially free of brucellosis (B melitensis)

We invite you once again to send us articles of interest in the section Submit your article where you can find the authorrsquos guidelines The BENV editorial staff wishes you a pleasant reading and gives you the appointment to the next year for the new issue
