No Evidence of Direct Transmission of Emerging Bluetongue Virus Strains Between Israel and Europe Based on Genomic Analyses (2013–2023) [PDF]

Pathogens
Bluetongue (BT) is an arthropod-borne viral disease primarily affecting domestic and wild ruminants. In recent years, several BTV serotypes and genotypes have been detected in Israel almost annually, raising questions about their origin and routes of ...

Congenital Malformations of the Central Nervous System Caused by Bluetongue Virus Serotype 3 (BTV-3) in Two Calves [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences
Since the first emergence of the Bluetongue virus (BTV) in 2006 in Northern Europe, there has been a reported association between BTV Serotype 8 (BTV-8) and brain malformations in calves. The first BTV-3 outbreak in Germany was registered in October 2023.

Development of Freeze-dried Reagents based Multiplex PCR Assay for the Detection of Common and Emerging Abortion-causing Pathogens

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2021
Bovine abortion is economically one of the most devastating problems faced by dairy farmers. Apart from non-infectious causes, several infectious pathogens are responsible for abortions, which sometimes manifests as abortion storms.

Diversity and seasonal abundance of Culicoides (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) in Shizong County, Yunnan Province, China

Parasite, 2022
Culicoides (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) are small biting midges, some of which are vectors for animal associated arboviruses such as bluetongue virus (BTV) and Akabane virus (AKAV).

Exposure of Culicoides sonorensis to Enzootic Strains of Bluetongue Virus Demonstrates Temperature- and Virus-Specific Effects on Virogenesis

Viruses, 2021
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a segmented RNA virus transmitted by Culicoides midges. Climatic factors, animal movement, vector species, and viral mutation and reassortment may all play a role in the occurrence of BTV outbreaks among susceptible ruminants ...

Protective Efficacy in Sheep of Adenovirus-Vectored Vaccines against Bluetongue Virus Is Associated with Specific T Cell Responses. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an economically important Orbivirus of the Reoviridae family that causes a hemorrhagic disease in ruminants. Its control has been achieved by inactivated-vaccines that have proven to protect against homologous BTV challenge ...

Comparative Molecular and Epidemiological Analyses of Israeli Bluetongue Viruses Serotype 1 and 9 Causing Outbreaks in 2018–2020

Microorganisms, 2023
Israel is endemic to bluetongue virus (BTV). The introduction of novel-for-the-region arboviruses have been recorded annually in recent years. In 2019, previously non-reported in-the-country BTV-1 and BTV-9 were identified.

In Vitro Reassortment between Endemic Bluetongue Viruses Features Global Shifts in Segment Frequencies and Preferred Segment Combinations

Microorganisms, 2021
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an arthropod-borne pathogen that is associated with sometimes severe disease in both domestic and wild ruminants. Predominantly transmitted by Culicoides spp.

Transplacental transmission of Bluetongue virus serotype 1 and serotype 8 in sheep: virological and pathological findings. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The Bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV-8) strain, which emerged in Europe in 2006, had an unusually high ability to cause foetal infection in pregnant ruminants.
