Culicoides species involved in the BTV-3 epidemic, the Netherlands, 2023-2024. [PDF]
A high amount of Culicoides‐midges were captured using Onderstepoort light traps on farms with animals infected with bluetongue serotype 3 (BTV‐3) at the beginning of the outbreak in 2023. Species, sex and parity of the captured Culicoides‐midges were morphologically determined and gravid and parous Culicoides‐midges have been selected and pooled for ...

Significant Impact of Schmallenberg Virus in Three Ruminant Farms: A Laboratory Experience. [PDF]
Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is endemic in Europe and other parts of the world and represents an underestimated and underdiagnosed cause of abortion and economic losses for livestock farms. In the present study, we evaluated SBV’s impact on three ruminant farms, in particular, two dairy cattle farms with reproductive problems (including abortions ...
