Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an agriculturally and economically significant insect-borne virus that causes serious illness and death in sheep and other domestic and wild ruminants in large areas of the world. Numerous BTV serotypes exist, and distant serotypes exhibit unique neutralizing antibody profiles, which target the outermost capsid protein VP2. The predominant serotype-specific nature of the...
