The epidemiology of bluetongue

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 1994
The perception that bluetongue virus (BTV), once introduced to a country, would decimate its sheep industry, grew from the acceptance in the late 1950s that it was an emerging virus with Africa as its source. Epidemiological studies in the 1960s and early 1970s confirmed that the geographic distribution of BTV infections included regions of the world ...

Genetic modification of Bluetongue virus by uptake of "synthetic" genome segments [PDF]

, 2010
Since 1998, several serotypes of Bluetongue virus (BTV) have invaded several southern European countries. In 2006, the unknown BTV serotype 8 (BTV8/net06) unexpectedly invaded North-West Europe and has resulted in the largest BT-outbreak ever recorded ...

Development and Validation of an ELISA for the Detection of Bluetongue Virus Serotype 4-Specific Antibodies

Viruses, 2021
In this article, we describe the development and evaluation of a double antigen sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) able to detect serotype 4-specific antibodies from BTV-4 infected or vaccinated animals using a recombinant BTV-4 VP2 ...

Bluetongue virus non-structural protein 1 is a positive regulator of viral protein synthesis. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus of the Reoviridae family, which encodes its genes in ten linear dsRNA segments.

Bluetongue disease in small ruminants in south western Ethiopia: cross-sectional sero-epidemiological study

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Objective The status of bluetongue disease, vectors for transmission of the disease and the serotypes involved are not clearly known in Ethiopia. This sero-epidemiological study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence and associated risk factors of

Further studies on bluetongue and bluetongue-related Orbiviruses in the Sudan [PDF]

Epidemiology and Infection, 1990
SUMMARYThe seasonal incidence of bluetongue virus (BTV) in Central Sudan is related primarily to fluctuations in the prevalence of the vector, Culicoides imicola. Population densities of this midge begin to rise with the onset of precipitation and peak during October, before falling sharply at the end of the rainy season in November. These are also the

Prevalence and risk factors for bluetongue in the State of São Paulo, Brazil

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2018
Bluetongue (BT), caused by Bluetongue virus (BTV), is a disease that affects ruminants such as cattle, sheep, goats and deer. BTV is transmitted by female midges of the genus Culicoides.

Surveillance of vector-borne diseases in cattle with special emphasis on bluetongue disease in Switzerland [PDF]

, 2008
Due to previous climatic conditions in Switzerland, vector-borne diseases were not of primary importance to the Swiss Federal Veterinary Office. It has now been established that global warming has had a major impact on vector species ecology due to ...

Potential entry pathways for 25 vector-borne disease agents. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract This Scientific Report identifies the potential entry pathways for 25 selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) into currently free EU Member States. The diseases comprise 12 listed under the Animal Health Law (AHL) and 13 non‐listed diseases, selected using predefined eligibility criteria.
