Bluetongue precipitating antibody was demonstrated in sera of cattle, camels, sheep, goats and seven game species. Of the domestic species the percentage of sera positive were; cattle 92%, camels 81%, goats 83% and sheep 36%. Sheep sera, unlike those of other domestic species, varied greatly from area to area in the percentage positive. Seroconversions were recorded in adult sheep between September and April. In adult cattle there was a gradual decline in the percentage positive with increasing age. Positive reactions were recorded in the following game species: impala (Aepyceros melampus), lechwe (Kobus leche), kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus), gemsbok (Oryx gazella), springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) and tsessebe (Damaliscus lunatus).
在牛、骆驼、绵羊、山羊和7种野生动物的血清中检测到蓝舌病沉淀抗体。在家畜中，血清阳性百分比分别为：牛92%，骆驼81%，山羊83%，绵羊36%。与其他家畜不同，绵羊血清的阳性百分比在不同地区差异很大。成年绵羊在9月至次年4月间出现血清转化。成年牛的阳性百分比随年龄增长而逐渐下降。在以下野生动物中记录到阳性反应：黑斑羚（黑耳岩羚）、水羚（水羚属）、大羚羊（扭角林羚）、黑尾牛羚（角马属）、南非大羚羊（南非剑羚）、跳羚（南非小羚羊）和转角牛羚（转角牛羚属）。
