Development and Evaluation of Real Time RT-PCR Assays for Detection and Typing of Bluetongue Virus

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Bluetongue virus is the type species of the genus Orbivirus, family Reoviridae. Bluetongue viruses (BTV) are transmitted between their vertebrate hosts primarily by biting midges (Culicoides spp.) in which they also replicate.

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1635-1659, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

Bluetongue Virus Serotypes 1 and 4 in Red Deer, Spain

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
We studied the potential of red deer as bluetongue maintenance hosts and sentinels. Deer maintained detectable bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 4 RNA for 1 year after the virus was cleared from livestock.

Diversity of Transmission Outcomes Following Co-Infection of Sheep with Strains of Bluetongue Virus Serotype 1 and 8

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Bluetongue virus (BTV) causes an economically important disease, bluetongue (BT), in susceptible ruminants and is transmitted primarily by species of Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).

Opportunities, research gaps, and risks in allogenic ecosystem engineer mimicry

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract In an age of anthropogenically driven species loss and increasingly novel ecosystems, ecosystem engineer restoration is a process‐based approach to supporting ecosystem function. Many ecosystem engineers have low or declining population sizes.

Current and next-generation bluetongue vaccines: Requirements, strategies, and prospects for different field situations

open access: yesCritical reviews in microbiology, 2017
Bluetongue virus (BTV) causes the hemorrhagic disease bluetongue (BT) in ruminants. The best way to control outbreaks is vaccination. Currently, conventionally modified-live and inactivated vaccines are commercially available, which have been ...

Co-Circulation of Multiple Serotypes of Bluetongue Virus in Zambia

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Bluetongue (BT) is an arthropod-borne viral disease of ruminants with serious trade and socio-economic implications. Although the disease has been reported in a number of countries in sub-Saharan Africa, there is currently no information on circulating ...

Bluetongue: control, surveillance and safe movement of animals

open access: yesEFSA journal. European Food Safety Authority, 2017
The performance of different bluetongue control measures related to both vaccination and protection from bluetongue virus (BTV) vectors was assessed. By means of a mathematical model, it was concluded that when vaccination is applied on 95% of animals ...

Bluetongue: a historical and epidemiological perspective with the emphasis on South Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Bluetongue (BT) is a non-contagious, infectious, arthropod transmitted viral disease of domestic and wild ruminants that is caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV), the prototype member of the Orbivirus genus in the family Reoviridae.

Climate Change Influences on the Global Potential Distribution of Bluetongue Virus

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The geographic distribution of arboviruses has received considerable attention after several dramatic emergence events around the world. Bluetongue virus (BTV) is classified among category “A” diseases notifiable to the World Organization of Animal ...
