  • Title: Bluetongue virus and epizootic haemorrhagic disease of deer virus serotypes in northern Colombian cattle.
    Author: Homan EJ, Taylor WP, de Ruiz HL, Yuill TM.
    Journal: J Hyg (Lond); 1985 Aug; 95(1):165-72. PubMed ID: 2991365.
    Abstract:
    There is recent evidence of bluetongue (BT) and epizootic haemorrhagic disease (EHD) virus infection of cattle in the American tropics, including BT group reactive antibody in Colombian cattle. These observations prompted a study to determine serologically the specific BT and EHD virus types present, and time of infection and to collect Culicoides spp. as potential vectors. A prospective study of BT and EHD virus infection was done on two farms in the Colombian department of Antioquia. Sequential sampling of young cattle indicated acquisition of neutralizing antibody to BT virus serotypes 12, 14 and 17, and EHD virus serotypes 1 and 2. Insect captures showed a high association of Culicoides insignis with infected cattle.
