The detection of EHDV serotype 8, with an identical genome to strains found in Tunisia in 2021, was reported in cattle farms in Sar-dinia and Sicily in October-November 2022.
We describe the detection of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) serotype 8 in cattle farms in Sar -dinia and Sicily in October-November 2022. The virus has a direct origin in North Africa; its genome is identical (>99.9% nucleotide sequence identity) to EHDV sero-type 8 strains detected in Tunisia in 2021.
