Abstract

Reproductive loss in ruminants, including abortion, premature birth, stillbirth, the birth of weak offspring, and occasionally early embryonic death, can result from numerous causes. Infectious agents may cause abortion "storms" affecting multiple animals within a herd/flock and may pose a significant zoonotic risk. Methods This report aims to provide an overview of the procedures governing diagnostic investigation and reporting of ruminant abortions across six European countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom) and summarise the predominant abortifacient agents identified in ruminant abortion cases through national diagnostic surveillance frameworks between 2022 and 2024.
