It was only a matter of time that it reached here
since in Europe it has gone in many areas.
It is a Airborn disease, of course.
Not a problem to humans, they say.
But Farmers will have to destroy all Animals.

Yes the Weather changes every 20 or so years
also this planet is moving around a Dying Sun
so it will get warmer or colder in strange months.
But Life Goes On.
More NZ Imports. |

Weather patterns have encouraged midges, gnats and mosquitoes which have all been more of a nuisance this year than usual... |

It is indeed an insect borne disease .... In 2006 outbreaks of the disease had been confirmed in primarily sheep in the Benelux countries, Holland, Germany Belgium and Luxembourg. In cattle it seems that the disease is generally asymptomatic which means that though an animal may carry high levels of the virus in their system they will not show any signs.
