The spread of bluetongue to Southern, Central, and Northern Europe provides an illustrative example of the complex interactions between climate change, vector habitat suitability, animal population density, distribution, and movement, which collectively influence the patterns of disease emergence and transmission.
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]
A new strain of the animal disease, which is spread by midges, is expected to re-enter Britain through infected insects blown on the wind. Experts warn of ‘very high probability’ bluetongue ...
A new variant of the disease, the BTV3 virus, has been circulating in Europe since late last year, leading to vaccination campaigns in affected countries including France. Portugal reported ...
Bluetongue can be deadly for domestic ruminants such as sheep, cattle and goats. A new variant of the disease has been circulating in northern Europe since late last year, leading to vaccination ...
Culicoides imicola (Culicoides imicola Kieffer, former name C. pallidipennis Carter) is a species of Ceratopogonidae that transmits the bluetongue virus (BTV) and the African horse sickness virus. [1] This particular species has been recorded in Africa, Asia and Europe. [1] African midges feed on animal blood, including horse, cattle, and sheep ...
Denmark reported Tuesday cases of bluetongue in the country's east, a non-contagious, insect-borne viral disease that is harmless to humans but can be fatal for so-called ruminant animals ...
In 2006, bluetongue virus was first recorded in Northern Europe. In 2007 and 2008, there were huge outbreaks, going as far as Norway, but in 2009 the outbreak was smaller. The main vector of the virus in Southern Europe does not live in Northern Europe, so other species have been screened.
