Protective efficacy of virus-like particles for bluetongue disease

Vaccine, 1992
Bluetongue virus-like particles (VLPs) derived from multiple baculovirus expression vectors have been administered in the presence of various adjuvants to sheep, a vertebrate host susceptible to the virus, and the neutralizing antibody responses are measured.

European Bluetongue Serotype 8: Disease Threat Assessment for U.S. Sheep

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2016
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an orbivirus transmitted by biting midges (Culicoides spp.) that can result in moderate to high morbidity and mortality primarily in sheep and white-tailed deer. Although only 5 serotypes of BTV are considered endemic to the United States, as many as 11 incursive serotypes have been detected in livestock and wildlife in the ...

Eradication of bluetongue disease in Germany by vaccination

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2014
Bluetongue disease first broke out in Germany on 21 August 2006, almost simultaneously with the first outbreaks in Belgium and The Netherlands. More extensive tests showed that the serotype was serotype 8. Due to westerly winds the disease spread rapidly towards the East, with the result that in the year 2008 large parts of Germany were affected.

Bluetongue disease—Global overview and future risks

Small Ruminant Research, 2014
Abstract Bluetongue disease (BT) has spread after the first reported outbreak more than 100 years ago to nearly all the tropical and temperate regions worldwide in a geographic band between the latitudes 40°N and 35°S. Bluetongue virus (BT) is transmitted by biting midges of the genus Culicoides to susceptible ruminants like sheep, cattle, goats, and

Bluetongue disease in Germany (2007–2008): monitoring of entomological aspects

Parasitology Research, 2009
In the summer of 2006, a bluetongue epidemic started in the border area of Belgium, The Netherlands, and Germany, spread within 2 years over large areas of Western and Central Europe, and caused substantial losses in farm ruminants. Especially sheep and cattle were severely affected, leading to a case-fatality ratio of nearly 40% in sheep (Conraths et ...

Is Bluetongue an Important Disease in Cattle?

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1973
SUMMARY The extent of bluetongue (bt) in cattle in the United States is unknown. Moreover, it is easily confused with such diseases as infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, bovine viral diarrhea, vesicular stomatitis, parainfluenza-3 infection, malignant catarrhal fever, and foot-and-mouth disease.

Prediction and transmission analysis of bluetongue disease in China

Preventive Veterinary Medicine
Bluetongue disease is an infectious disease transmitted by Culicoides as vectors, mainly infecting ruminants. Because ruminants play an important role in animal husbandry in China, the outbreak of bluetongue disease can cause serious economic losses. Maxent model was applied to predict the distribution of bluetongue in China based on the data derived ...
