Bluetongue Virus in Cervids in Piedmont During the 2024-2025 Outbreak. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
During the 2024–2025 bluetongue outbreak in Piedmont, 15 hunted cervids (12 red deer and three fallow deer) tested positive for BTV. These cases add to the 1066 infections detected in livestock, indicating the involvement of wild ungulates in viral circulation. Findings suggest the potential role of wild species as sentinel animals.
