A report from Royal GD in the Netherlands describes the outbreak of bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV-3) in ruminants in 2023. The study found that BTV-3 caused severe clinical signs and high mortality in sheep, while other animal species showed a wide variation in the occurrence and severity of clinical signs. The researchers emphasize the importance of an effective and safe vaccine to limit the future impact of BTV-3. This research has been peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights into the clinical signs, seroprevalence, and pathological findings of BTV-3 in the Netherlands. [Extracted from the article] |
