The bluetongue (BT) is an infectious, non-contagious disease of ruminants with a substantial impact on income and welfare of animals. To date, scarce information about this disease in domestic yaks is available in Tibetan area of China. Seroprevalence of circulating antibodies to Bluetongue virus (BTV) in yaks from three regions of Tibet and Hongyuan area of Sichuan Province in China was investigated by a commercial competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. A total of 736 blood samples were collected during the year 2012 and 2013, and nearly 2% serum samples were found positive for BTV antibodies in Hongyuan area during the year 2012, and 4.89 and 3.88% of samples showed positive results for BTV in Tibetan and Hongyuan area, respectively, in 2013. The results indicated the occurrence of BT infection in Chinese yaks for the first time in Tibet and Hongyuan area of Sichuan Province with the presence of BTV antibodies in these ruminants.
蓝舌病（BT）是反刍动物的一种传染性、非接触性疾病，对动物的收入和健康有重大影响。迄今为止，中国西藏地区关于家养牦牛这种疾病的信息稀缺。采用商用竞争酶联免疫吸附测定试剂盒，对中国西藏三个地区以及四川省红原地区牦牛体内蓝舌病病毒（BTV）循环抗体的血清流行率进行了调查。在2012年和2013年期间共采集了736份血样，2012年红原地区近2%的血清样本检测出BTV抗体呈阳性，2013年西藏地区和红原地区分别有4.89%和3.88%的样本BTV检测呈阳性。结果首次表明，在中国四川省的西藏和红原地区的牦牛中发生了蓝舌病感染，这些反刍动物体内存在BTV抗体。
