Bluetongue is one of the most important vector-borne viral diseases that can lead to significant economic losses as a result of reduction of productivity and even death in some susceptible ruminants. However, epidemiological information on bluetongue virus (BTV) infection in cattle and goats is scarce in China. To determine the seropositive rate and risk factors of BTV infection in cattle and goats in Guangxi province, a subtropical region in Southern China, a total of 548 cattle serum samples and 6567 goat serum samples collected from 13 cities across Guangxi province during 2003-2015 were analyzed and found that the seroprevalence is 44.5% (244/548) in cattle and 28.0% (1837/6567) in goats and the main BTV serotypes are BTV-1, -2, -4, and -8. Climatic zone, age, and species are found to be the likely risk factors for BTV infection. To our knowledge, this is the first large-scale serological survey for BTV infection in domestic cattle and goats in Guangxi province, Southern China.
