Abstract excerpt
Bluetongue, a transboundary disease, is endemic in several tropical countries and is caused by bluetongue virus (BTV). The origin and movement of BTV can be predicted by comparing nucleotide sequences of its segmented RNA genome. Such analyses have been useful in evaluating the source of the virus responsible for recent incursion of BTV into previously unreported areas. Besides several serotypes, genetically...
