Bluetongue Disease Control in Northern Ireland During 2017 and 2018

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Since the emergence of bluetongue virus in central and northern Europe in 2006, Northern Ireland's (NI) surveillance programme has evolved to include the use of risk assessments and simulation models to monitor the risk of bluetongue incursion. Livestock

Bluetongue virus structure and assembly [PDF]

Current Opinion in Virology, 2017
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an insect-vectored emerging pathogen of wild ruminants and livestock in many parts of the world. The virion particle is a complex structure of consecutive layers of protein surrounding a genome of ten double-stranded (ds) RNA segments. BTV has been studied as a model system for large, non-enveloped dsRNA viruses.

Secreted Nonstructural Protein 3 is a Pathogenic Determinant of Orbivirus

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
This study uncovers a conserved PIP2‐dependent secretory pathway of orbivirus NS3 that induces vascular leakage. Pharmacological disruption of PIP2‐NS3 interaction significantly reduces viral pathogenicity and provides protective efficacy in murine models, establishing PIP2‐mediated NS3 secretion as both a key virulence determinant and a promising ...

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Exploring perceptions of and attitudes towards bluetongue disease: A multi-stakeholder interview study in the beef and sheep farming sector in Ireland

Social Sciences and Humanities Open
Bluetongue (BT) is a vector-borne livestock disease caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV), that is currently exotic to Ireland. However, there is potential for the introduction of BTV and in the event of its introduction there is potential for substantial

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

SEROPREVALENCE OF BLUETONGUE VIRUS IN SHEEP IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Veterinaria, 2014
At the end of August 2002, clinical symptoms of bluetongue in the sheep flocks in northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina were recorded. In an extensive testing campaign, a total of 8967 blood serra of sheep were tested for the presence of anti-bluetongue ...

Reference Material Production and Milk Protein Concentration as Elements to Improve Bluetongue Serological Diagnosis in Bulk Tank Milk

Viruses
The serological surveillance of bluetongue in bulk tank milk is an efficient and cost-effective method for the early detection of bluetongue virus incursions in unvaccinated free areas of the disease.

Bitesize Biosecurity: A tool and framework for curating and summarising expert biosecurity advice for farmers using artificial intelligence

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Background Biosecurity practices mitigate disease risk on farms; however, adoption and consistent implementation remain variable across farmers. Improved communication of biosecurity information could increase uptake, reduce disease incidence and improve productivity, profitability and animal welfare. Methods This project developed a framework

Bluetongue in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Northeastern Mexico

Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, 2017
Bluetongue (BT) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease of deer (EHD) are two distinct viral hemorrhagic diseases of domestic and wild ruminants caused by members of the family Reoviridae and transmitted by Culicoides midges.
