Seroprevalence and risk factors for bluetongue virus Infection in ruminants in Northeastern Algeria
Bluetongue disease is a vector-borne viral infection caused by bluetongue virus, an Orbivirus of the Reoviridae family. Bluetongue virus primarily affects domestic and wild ruminants, with sheep showing the highest clinical susceptibility, followed by ...

Potential role of ticks as vectors of bluetongue virus
When the first outbreak of bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV8) was recorded in North-West Europe in August 2006 and renewed outbreaks occurred in the summer of 2007 and again in 2008, the question was raised how the virus survived the winter.

Bluetongue is an economically important disease of domesticated and wild ruminants caused by bluetongue virus (BTV). There are at least 36 different serotypes of BTV (the identity of which is determined by its outer-capsid protein VP2), most of which are

Monitoring of Putative Vectors of Bluetongue Virus Serotype 8, Germany
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.

Structure of the Bluetongue Virus Capsid [PDF]
Seven polypeptides were found to be present in the capsid of the bluetongue virus (BTV), four of which are major and three are minor components. This number and size distribution is the same as that found in reovirus, which has a similar segmented, double-stranded ribonucleic acid genome.

Surveillance of vector-borne diseases in cattle with special emphasis on bluetongue disease in Switzerland [PDF]
Due to previous climatic conditions in Switzerland, vector-borne diseases were not of primary importance to the Swiss Federal Veterinary Office. It has now been established that global warming has had a major impact on vector species ecology due to ...

Bluetongue virus serotypes 1 to 24 are transmitted primarily by infected Culicoides midges, in which they also replicate. However, “atypical” BTV serotypes (BTV‐25, ‐26, ‐27 and ‐28) have recently been identified that do not infect and replicate in adult

Introduction. Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the prototype virus of the Orbivirus genus in the Reoviridae family. Orbiviruses that infect and are transmitted by arthropod vectors (e.g. gnats, ticks, mosquitoes, etc.) include viruses that may cause disease in their vertebrate hosts with serious economic consequences in some regions of the world.
