2011 年西班牙发生山羊地方性流产。

Although louping ill affects mainly sheep, a 2011 outbreak in northern Spain occurred among goats. Histopathologic lesions and molecular genetics identified a new strain of louping ill virus, 94% identical to the strain from Britain. Surveillance is needed to minimize risk to domestic and wildlife species and humans.

虽然绵羊感染羊痒病较为常见，但 2011 年在西班牙北部也有山羊感染该病的情况发生。组织病理学病变和分子遗传学鉴定出一种新型羊痒病病毒，与英国毒株的同源性为 94%。需要进行监测，以最大限度地降低对家畜和野生动物以及人类的风险。
