Abstract
We describe the first detection in the European Union of the epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV). EHDV-8 has been detected in cattle farms in Sardinia and Sicily. The virus has a direct Northern African origin as its genome is identical (>99.9% nucleotide sequence identity) to EHDV-8 strains detected in Tunisia in 2021/2022.
