Dear Editor,Akabane disease is an arthropod-borne viral disease caused by the Akabane virus(AKAV)that can affect cattle,sheep,and goats.Inapparent infections in adults can lead months later to abortions,stillbirths,congenital defects,and death in newborns(Kurogi et al.,1976).Wild ruminants can also be affected,but abnormalities of the offspring in these species have not been reported.One report suggests that this virus can also cause clinical signs in pigs(Yanase et al.,2018).
