Seroprevalence of bluetongue serotype 8 in cattle in the Netherlands in spring 2007, and its consequences [PDF]
, 2008 A cross-sectional study was carried out in spring 2007, at the end of the first bluetongue outbreak season, to determine the geographical spread of bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV-8) infection in cattle in the Netherlands and the consequences for some ...

Did vaccination slow the spread of bluetongue in France? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Vaccination is one of the most efficient ways to control the spread of infectious diseases. Simulations are now widely used to assess how vaccination can limit disease spread as well as mitigate morbidity or mortality in susceptible populations. However,

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 ...

A synthetic biology approach for a vaccine platform against known and newly emerging serotypes of bluetongue virus [PDF]
, 2014 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.

Transplacental transmission of field and rescued strains of BTV-2 and BTV-8 in experimentally infected sheep [PDF]
, 2013 Transplacental transmission of bluetongue virus has been shown previously for the North European strain of serotype 8 (BTV-8) and for tissue culture or chicken egg-adapted vaccine strains but not for field strains of other serotypes.

Experimental bluetongue virus superinfection in calves previously immunized with bluetongue virus serotype 8 [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2016 The effect of a superinfection with bluetongue virus serotype 1 (BTV1) was evaluated on two groups of four calves. One group received a commercial inactivated BTV serotype 8 (BTV8) vaccine. This group and the non-vaccinated group of calves were challenged twice (4 months apart) with the European BTV8 strain isolated during the 2006-2007 epidemics ...

Bluetongue Virus Serotypes 1 and 4 in Red Deer, Spain
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 We studied the potential of red deer as bluetongue maintenance hosts and sentinels. Deer maintained detectable bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 4 RNA for 1 year after the virus was cleared from livestock.
