Risk‐based serological survey of bluetongue and the first evidence of bluetongue virus serotype 26 circulation in Tunisia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2022
Background Bluetongue (BT), a vector‐borne disease of wild and domestic ruminants, is responsible for severe economic losses in flocks. To reduce this impact, a surveillance and control plan was implemented in Tunisia.

An Early Block in the Replication of the Atypical Bluetongue Virus Serotype 26 in Culicoides Cells Is Determined by Its Capsid Proteins

Viruses, 2021
Arboviruses such as bluetongue virus (BTV) replicate in arthropod vectors involved in their transmission between susceptible vertebrate-hosts. The “classical” BTV strains infect and replicate effectively in cells of their insect-vectors (Culicoides ...

Prevalence and risk factors for bluetongue in the State of São Paulo, Brazil

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2018
Bluetongue (BT), caused by Bluetongue virus (BTV), is a disease that affects ruminants such as cattle, sheep, goats and deer. BTV is transmitted by female midges of the genus Culicoides.

Simultaneous Detection of Bluetongue Virus Serotypes Using xMAP Technology

Microorganisms, 2020
Bluetongue is an economically important disease of ruminants caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV). BTV is serologically diverse, which complicates vaccination strategies. Rapid identification of the causative BTV serotypes is critical, however, real-time

Exploiting serological data to understand the epidemiology of bluetongue virus serotypes circulating in Libya

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2019
The epidemiological patterns of Bluetongue (BT) in North Africa and Mediterranean Basin (MB) dramatically changed by emergence of subsequent episodes of novel bluetongue virus (BTV) serotypes with highly pathogenic indexes and socio‐economic impacts. The

Serological Evidence of Bluetongue Virus Serotypes Circulating in Pakistan

Intervirology
Introduction: Bluetongue is an arthropod-borne viral disease of ruminants, which is caused by bluetongue virus (BTV) that exists in more than 30 different serotypes. The disease is endemic in Pakistan.

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

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.

Complete genome characterisation of a novel 26th bluetongue virus serotype from Kuwait. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Bluetongue virus is the "type" species of the genus Orbivirus, family Reoviridae. Twenty four distinct bluetongue virus (BTV) serotypes have been recognized for decades, any of which is thought to be capable of causing "bluetongue" (BT), an insect-borne ...

Intraspecific variability rivals interspecific differences in root traits of temperate tree seedlings

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global change and associated disturbances are increasing the risk of regeneration failure for tree species in temperate forests. Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to water stress due to their shallow root systems, making below‐ground plasticity a potentially key ...

Staging friendship: towards an anthropology of everyday geopolitics in South Asia L'amitié mise en scène : vers une anthropologie de la géopolitique du quotidien en Asie du Sud

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article studies Indian‐Bangladeshi friendship ethnographically, as a contested political imaginary, claim, and relation, from the vantage of its shared borderlands. Staging friendship, I show, is a geopolitical project that engages equally the highest echelons of the Indian and Bangladeshi states and ordinary residents of its marginalized ...
