Vector competence of British Culicoides species for Bluetongue virus serotype 8 [PDF]

, 2009
The proportion of infected vectors which are able to transmit an arbovirus to a susceptible host has a significant impact on the epidemic potential of such a virus. Assessing vector competence is therefore crucial to evaluate accurately the risk posed by

Genomes of viral isolates derived from different mosquitos species [PDF]

, 2017
Eleven viral isolates derived mostly in albopictus C6/36 cells from mosquito pools collected in Southeast Asia and the Americas between 1966 and 2014 contained particles with electron microscopy morphology typical of reoviruses.

Specific T-cell subsets have a role in anti-viral immunity and pathogenesis but not viral dynamics or onwards vector transmission of an important livestock arbovirus

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionBluetongue virus (BTV) is an arthropod-borne Orbivirus that is almost solely transmitted by Culicoides biting midges and causes a globally important haemorrhagic disease, bluetongue (BT), in susceptible ruminants.

Directed genetic modification of African horse sickness virus by reverse genetics

South African Journal of Science, 2015
African horse sickness virus (AHSV), a member of the Orbivirus genus in the family Reoviridae, is an arthropod-transmitted pathogen that causes a devastating disease in horses with a mortality rate greater than 90%.

The Interplay between Bluetongue Virus Infections and Adaptive Immunity

Viruses, 2021
Viral infections have long provided a platform to understand the workings of immunity. For instance, great strides towards defining basic immunology concepts, such as MHC restriction of antigen presentation or T-cell memory development and maintenance ...

Seroepidemiological Survey on Bluetongue Virus (BTV) among Cattle, Sheep, and Goats in Gadarif State, Eastern Sudan. [PDF]

Int J Microbiol
Bluetongue (BT) is an arthropod‐borne viral disease that primarily affects ruminants in tropical and temperate regions. In the present study, a cross‐sectional survey was conducted to define the seroprevalence of Bluetongue virus and to identify the possible risk factors correlated with BTV seropositivity among cattle, sheep, and goats during the ...

Characterizing the Epidemiology of Bluetongue and Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Virus in Louisiana [PDF]

, 2020
Bluetongue virus (BTV) and Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (EHDV) are arthropod-borne viruses (Reoviridae; Orbivirus) transmitted by biting midges in the genus Culicoides.
