To determine the variability of the NS3/NS3A gene of field strains of BTV contained in Culicoides sonorensis collected from a single site in California (CA), the NS3/NS3A gene was directly amplified and sequenced from 22 pools of C. sonorensis and compared with those of previously characterized field isolates from CA, as well as to viruses that caused recent outbreaks of bluetongue disease in ruminants in CA....
