The Blackbird die-off that was observed in north-west Baden-Württemberg, neighbouring parts of Rheinland-Pfalz and southern Hessen in 2011 was caused by the Usutu Virus. and species breeding in cavities are less affected. The first detection outside Africa occurred in Vienna/Austria between 2001 and 2006.
