Global emergence and evolutionary dynamics of bluetongue virus
Scientific Reports, 2020 Bluetongue virus (BTV) epidemics are responsible for worldwide economic losses of up to US$ 3 billion. Understanding the global evolutionary epidemiology of BTV is critical in designing intervention programs.

Epidemiological investigation of bluetongue virus antibodies in sheep in Iran
Veterinary World, 2013 Aim: Bluetongue is a non-contagious, infectious viral disease of domestic and wild ruminants; which is believed to have originated in Africa. The epidemiology of Bluetongue virus infection is poorly defined in many parts of the world, including a wide ...

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,

The phenology and population dynamics of Culicoides spp. in different ecosystems in the Netherlands [PDF]
, 2008 The Netherlands has enjoyed a relatively free state of vector-borne diseases of economic importance for more than one century. Emerging infectious diseases may change this situation, threatening the health of humans, domestic livestock and wildlife.

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 ...

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.
