RNA elements in open reading frames of the bluetongue virus genome are essential for virus replication. [PDF]
Members of the Reoviridae family are non-enveloped multi-layered viruses with a double stranded RNA genome consisting of 9 to 12 genome segments. Bluetongue virus is the prototype orbivirus (family Reoviridae, genus Orbivirus), causing disease in ...

RNA interference targets arbovirus replication in Culicoides cells [PDF]
Arboviruses are transmitted to vertebrate hosts by biting arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks and midges. These viruses replicate in both arthropods and vertebrates and are thus exposed to different antiviral responses in these organisms.

Full Genome Characterisation of Bluetonge Virus Seroptype 6 from the Netherlands 2008 and Comparison to Other Field and Vaccine Strains [PDF]
In mid September 2008, clinical signs of bluetongue (particularly coronitis) were observed in cows on three different farms in eastern Netherlands (Luttenberg, Heeten, and Barchem), two of which had been vaccinated with an inactivated BTV-8 vaccine ...

Seroprevalence of bluetongue serotype 8 in cattle in the Netherlands in spring 2007, and its consequences [PDF]
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 ...

Bluetongue Virus Entry into Cells [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a member of the Orbivirus genus within the Reoviridae family. Like those of other members of the family, BTV particles are nonenveloped and contain two distinct capsids, namely, an outer capsid and an inner capsid or core. The two outer

The phenology and population dynamics of Culicoides spp. in different ecosystems in the Netherlands [PDF]
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.

A cross-sectional study to determine the seroprevalence of Bluetongue virus serotype 8 in sheep and goats in 2006 and 2007 in the Netherlands [PDF]
Background: In August 2006 a major epidemic of bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV8) started off in North-West Europe. In the course of 2007 it became evident that BTV8 had survived the winter in North-West Europe, re-emerged and spread exponentially ...

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 ...

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 ...
