Pixelated pathologies: Camera trapping as a tool for monitoring wildlife health

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Given the increasing emergence of diseases, some with conservation and public health implications, improving and expanding wildlife health surveillance strategies is imperative. Camera trapping is particularly relevant for detecting new outbreaks, monitoring high‐risk zones and evaluating risk mitigation measures. Abstract Camera trapping has become an

Culicoides species involved in the BTV‐3 epidemic, the Netherlands, 2023–2024

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A high amount of Culicoides‐midges were captured using Onderstepoort light traps on farms with animals infected with bluetongue serotype 3 (BTV‐3) at the beginning of the outbreak in 2023. Species, sex and parity of the captured Culicoides‐midges were morphologically determined and gravid and parous Culicoides‐midges have been selected and pooled for ...

Safety and Efficacy of Plant‐Produced Trivalent Virus‐Like Particle Vaccine Candidate Against Bluetongue Disease

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bluetongue (BT) is a non‐contagious, insect‐transmitted disease of wild and domestic ruminants caused by bluetongue virus (BTV). Effective control of BT disease relies on vaccination against prevalent or seasonal serotypes using live attenuated or inactivated vaccines.

The MVA-VP2-NS1-2A-NS2-Nt vaccine candidate provides heterologous protection in sheep against bluetongue virus

Frontiers in Immunology
Bluetongue (BT) is an important arthropod-borne livestock disease transmitted by Culicoides midges. The etiological agent, Bluetongue virus (BTV), can lead to severe economic losses due to reduced productivity and trade restrictions.

Longitudinal monitoring of cattle infected by bluetongue virus serotype 3 on a commercial Holstein dairy farm in the Netherlands

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Since September 2023, bluetongue virus serotype 3 has been circulating in the Netherlands. Cattle can exhibit a range of clinical signs from sub‐clinical to severe, but they are also known to play an important role as a virus reservoir in bluetongue epidemics.

A Review of Knowledge Gaps and Tools for Orbivirus Research

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2015
Although recognized as causing emerging and re-emerging disease outbreaks worldwide since the late 1800 s, there has been growing interest in the United States and Europe in recent years in orbiviruses, their insect vectors, and the diseases they cause in domestic livestock and wildlife.

A habitat suitability analysis for three Culicoides species implicated in bluetongue virus transmission in the Southeastern United States

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 373-384, June 2025.
Culicoides insignis, Culicoides stellifer and Culicoides venustus are suspected Bluetongue Virus vectors in the United States and could potentially influence the transmission of Bluetongue Virus to ruminant livestock. Habitat suitability models predicted suitable habitat for C. insignis in Florida and along the coast, C.

Genetic and epidemiological characterization of Stretch Lagoon orbivirus, a novel orbivirus isolated from Culex and Aedes mosquitoes in northern Australia

Journal of General Virology, 2009
Stretch Lagoon orbivirus (SLOV) was isolated in 2002 from pooled Culex annulirostris mosquitoes collected at Stretch Lagoon, near the Wolfe Creek national park in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Conventional serological tests were unable to identify the isolate, and electron microscopy indicated a virus of the genus Orbivirus, family ...

Seasonal resource selection and migration of mule deer in an agricultural landscape

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 4, May 2025.
We investigated research selection, migration, and survival of a mule deer population in southeastern Washington, USA. We observed resident and migratory mule deer and survival was similar between the 2 groups. Regardless of season and scale, intact (grassland and shrubland) or restored cover types were most selected, demonstrating the importance of ...
