This study reports on an outbreak of disease that occurred in central Algeria during July 2006. Sheep in the affected area presented clinical signs typical of bluetongue (BT) disease. A total of 5245 sheep in the affected region were considered to be susceptible, with 263 cases and thirty-six deaths. Bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 1 was isolated and identified as the causative agent. Segments 2, 7 and 10 of this virus were sequenced and compared with other isolates from Morocco, Italy, Portugal and France showing that they all belong to a 'western' BTV group/topotype and collectively represent a western Mediterranean lineage of BTV-1.
本研究报告了 2006 年 7 月在阿尔及利亚中部发生的一次疾病暴发。受影响地区的绵羊呈现出典型的蓝舌病（BT）临床症状。受影响地区共有 5245 只绵羊被认为易感，发病 263 例，死亡 36 例。分离并鉴定出该病毒为蓝舌病病毒（BTV）血清型 1。该病毒的 2、7 和 10 段序列与来自摩洛哥、意大利、葡萄牙和法国的其他分离株进行了比较，结果表明它们均属于“西部”BTV 组/拓扑型，共同代表了 BTV-1 的西部地中海谱系。
