Bluetongue in China: Current Status of Viruses, Vectors, Detection Methods, and Vaccines

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Bluetongue (BT) is a vector‐borne viral disease caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV), which can affect a variety of wild and domestic ruminants. Due to its significant impact on ruminant health and national economies, BT is classified as a notifiable multispecies disease by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH).

Seroepidemiological Investigation and Risk Factors of Schmallenberg Virus Infection in Sheep and Goats in Bangladesh

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is an emerging vector‐borne pathogen that significantly impacts the health and productivity of both domesticated and wild ruminants, leading to considerable economic losses. Its transmission via arthropod vectors raises concerns about potential geographic expansion, particularly to South Asia, including Bangladesh, where ...

Discovery of a new inland population of Leptoconops noei in Italy with sequencing of the first complete mitochondrial genome for the genus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 817-828, December 2025.
The genus Leptoconops is poorly investigated, despite its ecological relevance and biting nuisance. The studies in Italy focused only on the coastal areas. Inland populations of Leptoconops noei are documented for the first time in Italy. We record their presence in an area covering Siena district, Tuscany region, in an atypical environment for the ...
