In order to determine serological status of Polish goats for selected emerging ruminant viruses, 365 serum samples collected between 2017 and 2019 in 36 districts within 10 of Polish provinces, were tested. No antibodies specific to Peste de Petite Ruminants Virus (PPRSV) and capripoxviruses (CaPV) were found in any of the tested animals. Only single individual (0.27%) was seropositive to Blutongue Virus (BTV). Antibodies directed to Schmallenberg Virus (SBV) were detected in 46 goats which represented 12.6% of the tested population. No association between seropositivity to SBV and year of sampling, province of origin, gender and age was found. In conclusion, among studied viral pathogens, currently only SBV seemed to be important for epidemiological status of Polish goats.}, type={Article}, title={Occurrence of emerging ruminant viruses in goats in Poland}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/126668/PDF-MASTER/15%20_%20Larska.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pjvs.2023.145015}, keywords={goat, seroprevalence, emerging viruses, BTV, PPRV, SBV, capripoxviruses}, }
