Current Epidemiological Situation for S&GP S&GP spreads sporadically in Turkey. Compared with previous years, there is a significant decline on number of outbreaks. There is sessional characteristic on spread dynamic. Grazing pattern and mild climate-spring/autumn is effected on transmission of the disease. Geographically, it has been observed much more in west of the country Seven outbreaks were detected in Thrace region, Tekirdağ (5), Kırklareli () and Istanbul () in this year. /08 0/09 205

Control Strategy Movement control Clinical and serological survey with a risk-based approach Investigation of vector Culicoides species, circulation and activities Control of Culicoides with insecticides Movement of sheep to higher altitudes in active vector season Training of trainers and field veterinarians and improving awareness of farmers and public Inactive vaccination was implemented in the provinces with confirmed cases and vaccination in areas of outbreaks for years /08 0/09 205
Protection Measures and Surveillance Studies in 204 The first outbreak occurred in Karaabalar/Kırklareli in Thrace Region. The serotype of the virus isolated from Kırklareli was determined as BT serotype 4 by Etlik Veterinary Control Central Research Institute. Active clinic survey was research All SR in Trace region and most of the animals in Marmara region were vaccinated. Animal movement control Control of Culicoides with insecticides /08 0/09 205
Current control measures All animals will be vaccinated in Trace region this year, including provinces where they have occurred outbreak in 204. At least 85 % of the SR will be vaccinated in areas of outbreaks of the past years and also Mediterranean and Aegean provinces that are warm, humid, Culicoides are widespread and determined as high risk areas. On-going studies for use of the vaccine for sheep in goats and cattle as well. Continue training of staff and farmers, survey planning, training materials for public awareness /08 0/09 205
