Evaluation of Bluetongue Virus (BTV) Antibodies for the Immunohistochemical Detection of BTV and Other Orbiviruses [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
The detection of bluetongue virus (BTV) antigens in formalin-fixed tissues has been challenging; therefore, only a limited number of studies on suitable immunohistochemical approaches have been reported.

Experimental BTV-3 and BTV-8 infection of Culicoides sonorensis biting midges [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the etiologic agent of a major infectious disease of livestock and is transmitted between its ruminant hosts by Culicoides biting midges. The first outbreak ever recorded in central Europe was caused by serotype BTV-8

Attenuation of Bluetongue Virus (BTV) in an in ovo Model Is Related to the Changes of Viral Genetic Diversity of Cell-Culture Passaged BTV [PDF]

Viruses, 2019
The embryonated chicken egg (ECE) is routinely used for the laboratory isolation and adaptation of Bluetongue virus (BTV) in vitro. However, its utility as an alternate animal model has not been fully explored.

Transplacental transmission of field and rescued strains of BTV-2 and BTV-8 in experimentally infected sheep [PDF]

Veterinary Research, 2013
Abstract Transplacental transmission of bluetongue virus has been shown previously for the North European strain of serotype 8 (BTV-8) and for tissue culture or chicken egg-adapted vaccine strains but not for field strains of other serotypes.

Entomological surveillance for bluetongue virus in Poland: late-season activity and abundance of Culicoides vectors in 2024 [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Research
This study focused on the seasonal activity and species diversity of Culicoides biting midges collected from 11 locations along the western border of Poland and major livestock transit routes, and included screening for bluetongue virus (BTV) RNA.

Full genome characterisation of bluetongue virus serotype 6 from the Netherlands 2008 and comparison to other field and vaccine strains. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
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 ...

Isolation and Cultivation of a New Isolate of BTV-25 and Presumptive Evidence for a Potential Persistent Infection in Healthy Goats

Viruses, 2020
Recently, several so-called “atypical” Bluetongue virus (BTV) serotypes were discovered, including BTV-25 (Toggenburg virus), in Switzerland. Most “atypical” BTV were identified in small ruminants without clinical signs. In 2018, two goats from a holding

Increased Clinical Signs and Mortality in IFNAR^(−/−) Mice Immunised with the Bluetongue Virus Outer-Capsid Proteins VP2 or VP5, after Challenge with an Attenuated Heterologous Serotype [PDF]

Pathogens, 2023
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

Identification of a BTV-Strain-Specific Single Gene That Increases Culicoides Vector Infection Rate [PDF]

Viruses, 2021
Since the 2000s, the distribution of bluetongue virus (BTV) has changed, leading to numerous epidemics and economic losses in Europe. Previously, we found a BTV-4 field strain with a higher infection rate of a Culicoides vector than a BTV-1 field strain ...

High Seroprevalence of Bluetongue Virus Serotype 3 in Belgian Cattle and Sheep After the 2024 Epidemic [PDF]

Viruses
To monitor the epidemiological situation of bluetongue virus (BTV) in Belgium, a national surveillance programme was conducted during the 2024–2025 winter season.
