Electron micrograph of Bluetongue virus, scale bar = 50 nm. Bluetongue (BT) disease is a noncontagious, arthropod-borne viral disease affecting ruminants, [1] primarily sheep and other domestic or wild ruminants, including cattle, yaks, [2] goats, buffalo, deer, dromedaries, and antelope. [3]
The virus causes Bluetongue disease. [1] [2] [3] BTV is relatively fragile and its infectivity is lost in slightly acidic environments. The recently spreading BTV-3 variant (BTV-3/NET2023) has raised concerns due to its fast spread in Europe, and the introduction of this variant could pose new challenges for disease control. [4]
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an Orbivirus that causes bluetongue disease in sheep, cattle, goats, and wild ungulates. BTV has been in the forefront of molecular studies for last three decades and now represents one of the best understood viruses at the molecular and structural levels.

It is the causative agent of epizootic hemorrhagic disease, an acute, infectious, and often fatal disease of wild ruminants. In North America , the most severely affected ruminant is the white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ), although it may also infect mule deer , black-tailed deer , elk , bighorn sheep , and pronghorn antelope.

Bluetongue virus is closely related to EHDV, and has similar clinical signs, but it is a different disease. Bluetongue is a serious disease in cattle, as well as other ruminants, and can have a significant effect on international trade. Testing at animal health laboratories is necessary to distinguish between the viruses that cause bluetongue ...
