Serological survey of bluetongue virus in sheep from Minas Gerais [PDF]
: Bluetongue is an infectious, non-contagious disease that affects domestic and wild ruminants, caused by a virus from the Orbivirus genus, Reoviridae family, transmitted by arthropod vectors of the Culicoides genus.

The paper outlines the methodology followed in choosing five key indicators which will be used in a forthcoming annual review of the impact of weather and climate on the UK agri‐food sector. This is done through an initial literature review, a synthesis of the currently understood impacts of weather and climate, and insights from group of experts and ...

Seroprevalence of bluetongue antibodies among goats in selected small ruminant farms in Serdang, Malaysia [PDF]
Bluetongue disease is an arthropod-transmitted viral disease of ruminants with a worldwide distribution. Bluetongue outbreaks has been reported among livestock in Malaysia during the 1990s and since then few studies have paid attention to the status of ...

Design and optimisation of rapid real‐time PCR assays for the detection of key Culicoides species
Species‐specific real‐time PCR assays were designed and optimised using primer/probe sets targeting C. obsoletus, C. scoticus, C. chiopterus, C. dewulfi, C. pulicaris, C. punctatus and C. impunctatus. Primer specificity and amplification efficiency were validated through in silico specificity analysis and real‐time PCR amplification profiling.

Bluetongue virus structure and assembly [PDF]
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.

Immunization against active ghrelin using virus-like particles for obesity treatment. [PDF]
Ghrelin is a gut hormone that stimulates food intake. In physiological conditions, ghrelin plasma levels rise with fasting and decrease after meals. Obese individuals have low fasting ghrelin levels that rise after food restriction, which is pointed out ...

Establishment of a bluetongue virus infection model in mice that are deficient in the alpha/beta interferon receptor. [PDF]
Bluetongue (BT) is a noncontagious, insect-transmitted disease of ruminants caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV). A laboratory animal model would greatly facilitate the studies of pathogenesis, immune response and vaccination against BTV. Herein, we show
