In spring 2016, three years after the last reported outbreak of Schmallenberg virus (SBV) in Belgium, an abortion was notified in a two year old Holstein heifer that previously had not been vaccinated against SBV. The autopsy of the eight-month-old malformed foetus revealed hydrocephalus, torticollis and arthrogryposis. Foetal brain tissue and blood were found to be SBV-positive by RT-PCR and ELISA tests, respectively. Evidencing the circulation of SBV in Belgium in the autumn 2015 is important to anticipate future outbreaks and advise veterinarians about the risks associated with calving, as more bovine foetuses might have been infected.
2016年春季，在比利时最后一次报告施马伦贝格病毒（SBV）疫情三年后，一头两岁的未接种过SBV疫苗的荷斯坦小母牛发生流产。对八个月大的畸形胎儿进行尸检发现有脑积水、斜颈和关节弯曲。分别通过逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）和酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）检测发现胎儿脑组织和血液呈SBV阳性。证明2015年秋季SBV在比利时的传播情况对于预测未来疫情以及就产犊相关风险向兽医提供建议很重要，因为可能有更多牛胎儿受到感染。
