Economic Impact of a Bluetongue Serotype 8 Epidemic in Germany
Background and Objectives: Germany was affected by Bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV-8) from 2006 to 2009 and recorded new cases since December 2018. We assessed the economic impact of the epidemic from the first cases in 2006 until 2018.

Transplacental transmission of the Italian Bluetongue virus serotype 2 in sheep
In order to study the capability of a Bluetongue virus serotype 2 (BTV‑2) field isolate to cross the placental barrier, 2 groups of 5 pregnant ewes were infected with a field BTV‑2 Italian strain (Group A) or with the same strain passaged once in ...

A synthetic biology approach for a vaccine platform against known and newly emerging serotypes of bluetongue virus [PDF]
Bluetongue is one of the major infectious diseases of ruminants and is caused by Bluetongue virus (BTV), an arbovirus existing in nature in at least 26 distinct serotypes. Here, we describe the development of a vaccine platform for BTV.

Clinical Approach and Successful Intervention of Congenital Hydrocephalus in Neonatal Calf. [PDF]
A neonatal calf with congenital hydrocephalus, characterized by a dome‐shaped cranial vault, was treated with gradual drainage of cerebrospinal fluid and a horizontal mattress suture. The calf exhibited neurological improvement following surgery. At 12‐day follow‐up, normal behaviour and growth were observed with no neurological deficits.
