Distribution map not understandable by color blind users

[edit]

The information in the distribution map apparently relies on distinguishing red and green hues that are not distinct to people with colour blindness. I will add the article to the relevant hidden category. Fortunately, the information is also included in the wording of the body text.

“The recordings are made in the media interest in high definition from the Press Office of the FLI available.” http://www.fli.bund.de/de/startseite/press-releases/presse-informationsseite/Pressemitteilung/schmallenberg-virus-erstmals-sichtbar-gemacht.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.226.24.6 (talk) 11:29, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relation to Akabane virus?

[edit]

Afaics it was originally believed to be Akabane virus - did that change? Otherwise it should be mentioned in the article. -- Richiez (talk) 12:57, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Symptoms in animals?

[edit]

Should this not be signs rather than symptoms? Moletrouser (talk) 07:04, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Threat to human health

[edit]

This sentence "A risk assessment in December 2011 did not consider it likely to be a threat to human health, as other comparable viruses are not zoonotic." does not make sense. The first reference cited in this sentence (link does not work, but this should be the link https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/media/en/publications/Publications/231112_TER_Risk_assessment_Schmallenberg_virus.pdf) states "the new virus is closest to the following Simbu serogroup viruses: Shamonda-, Aino- and Akabane-viruses, which do not cause disease in humans." Suggest to modify into: "A risk assessment in December 2011 did not consider it likely to be a threat to human health, as other closely related viruses do not cause disease in humans." 165.85.72.164 (talk) 12:47, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
