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.
最近有证据表明,在美洲热带地区的牛群中存在蓝舌病(BT)和流行性出血热(EHD)病毒感染,包括哥伦比亚牛群中出现的BT组反应性抗体。这些观察结果促使开展一项研究,以血清学方法确定存在的特定BT和EHD病毒类型、感染时间,并收集库蠓属昆虫作为潜在传播媒介。在哥伦比亚安蒂奥基亚省的两个农场对BT和EHD病毒感染进行了一项前瞻性研究。对幼牛的连续采样表明,牛群获得了针对BT病毒血清型12、14和17以及EHD病毒血清型1和2的中和抗体。昆虫捕获结果显示, insignis库蠓与受感染牛群之间存在高度关联。
