Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) is a non-contagious arthropod-borne disease transmitted by blood-sucking midges of the genus Culicoides. It affects domestic and wild ruminants, mainly white-tailed deer and cattle. At the end of October and in November 2022, outbreaks of EHD were confirmed in several cattle farms in Sardinia and Sicily. This is the first detection of EHD in Europe. The loss of free status and the lack of effective prophylactic measures could have significant economic consequences for infected countries.
动物流行病（EHD）是一种非传染性节肢动物传播的疾病，由库蠓属的吸血蠓传播。它影响家养和野生反刍动物，主要是白尾鹿和牛。2022 年 10 月底和 11 月，撒丁岛和西西里岛的几个奶牛场确认爆发了 EHD。这是欧洲首次发现 EHD。失去自由状态和缺乏有效的预防措施可能会给受感染的国家带来重大的经济后果。
