Epidemiology and Haematological Alterations of Sheep Ked (Melophagus ovinus) Infestation and Farmers' Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices in Northwest Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
This study reveals an 11.6% prevalence of sheep ked (Melophagus ovinus) in South Gondar Zone, Northwest, Ethiopia, with significant associations to sex, body condition, season, and agro ecology. Infested sheep showed significantly lower packed cell volume (PCV), indicating anaemia.

Rapid generation of replication-deficient monovalent and multivalent vaccines for bluetongue virus: protection against virulent virus challenge in cattle and sheep.

, 2013
Since 1998, 9 of the 26 serotypes of bluetongue virus (BTV) have spread throughout Europe, and serotype 8 has suddenly emerged in northern Europe, causing considerable economic losses, direct (mortality and morbidity) but also indirect, due to ...

Bacteriophage P22 Virus‐Like Particles as Nanoscale Protein Scaffolds for Plant Synthetic Biology

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 5671-5683, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Advancing the utility of plant synthetic biology requires the continued development of protein engineering tools. Self‐assembling protein compartments, such as virus‐like particles (VLPs), provide versatile scaffolds for synthetic biology. However, few plant‐expressed VLPs have demonstrated broad amenability to protein engineering, restricting

Coinfections Dampen the Effects of Temperature on Host–Parasite Interactions

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 10, October 2026.
Temperature can drive large shifts in host–parasite interactions, but these shifts need not correspond to strong effects on coinfecting parasite interactions. Coinfection may provide a stabilizing effect on disease in a warming world—but this effect can falter when hosts are faced with multiple stressors.

Persistence of Bluetongue virus serotype 1 virulence in sheep blood refrigerated for 10 years

Veterinaria Italiana, 2019
This paper reports that Bluetongue virus serotype 1 (BTV-1) infected blood collected during the 2006 Sardinia (Italy) epidemic from a ewe with clinical disease and stored at ~ 5°C for 10 years, caused Bluetongue (BT)-like clinical disease and death when ...

Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Insects in Nigeria: A GBIF‐Based Appraisal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Insect diversity in Nigeria is high, with 5880 species. Diversity differs between biomes. Current diversity represents ~21 of the estimated ‘true’ diversity. ABSTRACT Insects provide essential ecosystem services and are key indicators of ecosystem health.

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 ...

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

Spatial and Temporal Evolution of Bluetongue Virus in Wild Ruminants, Spain

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
We confirmed the emergence of bluetongue virus (BTV) in 5 wild ruminant species in Spain. BTV seroprevalence was high and dispersed with time, with a south-to-north gradient.
