TL;DR: During the Schmallenberg virus (SBV) epidemic, the EFSA collected data on SBV occurrence across Europe in order to provide an assessment of spread and impact and simple within-herd impact indicators suitable for emerging disease outbreaks were defined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered that American mink and ferret are highly susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), but no information is available for other mustelid species.

TL;DR: Although the EU territory does not seem to be directly exposed to an imminent risk of RVFV introduction, the risk of further spread into countries neighbouring the EU and the risks of possible introduction of infected vectors, suggest that EU authorities need to strengthen their surveillance and response capacities.

TL;DR: The estimated probability of spread of ASF within the ROC within one year after introduction into theROC was assessed to be very high, and the probability of AsF spread from the Roc to EU MSs outside the R OC within oneyear after introduction was estimated to bevery low to low.

TL;DR: For reproducing does, as well as growing rabbits, welfare consequences related to behavioural restrictions were more prominent in conventional cages, elevated pens and enriched cages, whereas those related to health problems were more important in floor pens, outdoor and organic systems.
