Abstract
Cache Valley Virus (CVV) is a causative agent of a mosquitoborne disea se syndrome of sheep and, possibly, of all ruminants, characterized by embryonic and fetal death, stillbirths, and multiple congential malfo rmations. CVV is endemic in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Sev eral related Bunyviruses also may play a role in syndromes of congenti al malformations and embryonic losses in North America.
