Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus that often causes significant economic damage to the livestock industry. The RNA-based genome transcription of BTV during infection depends on its RNA-dependent RNA polymerase ...

Vector competence of British Culicoides species for Bluetongue virus serotype 8 [PDF]
, 2009 The proportion of infected vectors which are able to transmit an arbovirus to a susceptible host has a significant impact on the epidemic potential of such a virus. Assessing vector competence is therefore crucial to evaluate accurately the risk posed by

Vector competence is strongly affected by a small deletion or point mutations in bluetongue virus
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Transmission of vector-borne virus by insects is a complex mechanism consisting of many different processes; viremia in the host, uptake, infection and dissemination in the vector, and delivery of virus during blood-feeding leading to infection of the ...

Monitoring of Putative Vectors of Bluetongue Virus Serotype 8, Germany
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 To identify the vectors of bluetongue virus (BTV) in Germany, we monitored Culicoides spp. biting midges during April 2007–May 2008. Molecular characterization of batches of midges that tested positive for BTV suggests C.

Bluetongue virus vaccine: conventional to modern approach.
Acta virologica, 2019 Bluetongue (BT) is an economically important, infectious and non-contagious disease of ruminant animals. BT disease is caused by bluetongue virus (BTV) of the genus Orbivirus (the family Reoviridae). BTV is transmitted by certain species of biting midges

Virus and host factors affecting the clinical outcome of bluetongue virus infection [PDF]
, 2014 Bluetongue is a major infectious disease of ruminants caused by bluetongue virus (BTV), an arbovirus transmitted by Culicoides. Here, we assessed virus and host factors influencing the clinical outcome of BTV infection using a single experimental ...

Epidemiology of Bluetongue Virus Serotype 8, Germany
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 In Germany, bluetongue disease had not been reported before 2006. During August 2006–August 2008, >24,000 bluetongue virus serotype 8 infections were reported, most (20,635) in 2007. In 2006 and 2007, respectively, case-fatality rates were 6.4% and 13.1%
