| fatal bluetongue virus infection in an alpaca (vicugna pacos) in california. | in october 2008, a 15-year-old female alpaca (vicugna pacos) housed at a breeding farm in northern california died after a brief illness characterized by sudden onset of weakness, recumbency, and respiratory distress. postmortem examination revealed severe hydrothorax and hydropericardium, marked pulmonary edema, and acute superficial myocardial hemorrhage affecting the left ventricle. bluetongue virus (btv) was detected in the spleen by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase ch ... | 2010 | 20093703 |
| serologic survey of viral antibodies in the peruvian alpaca (lama pacos). | sera from more than 100 alpacas (lama pacos) from the peruvian southern sierra were examined for antibodies to 8 viruses known to infect other domestic animals. on the basis of these serologic findings and previously published serologic or clinical data, it is now known that the alpaca can be infected with the following viruses: parainfluenza-3, bovine respiratory syncytial virus, bovine herpesvirus-1, bluetongue virus, border disease virus, influenza a virus, rotavirus, rabies virus, vesicular ... | 1987 | 3826854 |
| culicoides vector species on three south american camelid farms seropositive for bluetongue virus serotype 8 in germany 2008/2009. | palearctic species of culicoides (diptera, ceratopogonidae), in particular of the obsoletus and pulicaris complexes, were identified as putative vectors of bluetongue virus serotype 8 (btv-8) on ruminant farms during the epizootic in germany from 2006 to 2009. btv may cause severe morbidity and mortality in ruminants and sporadically in south american camelids (sac). however, the fauna of culicoides spp. on sac farms has not been investigated. therefore, the ceratopogonid fauna was monitored on ... | 2015 | 26489592 |
| variation in bluetongue virus real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay results in blood samples of sheep, cattle, and alpaca. | bluetongue is a vector-borne viral disease that affects domestic and wild ruminants. the epidemiology of this disease has recently changed, with occurrence in new geographic areas. various real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (real-time qrt-pcr) assays are used to detect bluetongue virus (btv); however, the impact of biologic differences between new world camelids and domestic ruminant samples on pcr efficiency, for which the btv real-time qrt-pcr was initially ... | 2011 | 21908318 |
| bluetongue disease and seroprevalence in south american camelids from the northwestern region of the united states. | in late summer/early fall of 2013, 2 south american camelids from central washington were diagnosed with fatal bluetongue viral disease, an event which is rarely reported. a 9-year-old intact male llama (lama glama), with a 1-day history of anorexia, recumbency, and dyspnea before death. abundant foam discharged from the mouth and nostrils, and the lungs were severely edematous on postmortem examination. histologically, there was abundant intra-alveolar edema with fibrin. hemorrhage and edema di ... | 2015 | 25680921 |
| natural bluetongue virus infection in alpacas in south africa. | bluetongue virus (btv) was sporadically isolated over a four year period (2010-2014) from several alpaca carcasses that were presented for necropsy at the western cape provincial veterinary laboratory, south africa. typically, the a ected animals had a history of acute dyspnoea and progressive weakness before death. consistent hydrothorax and severe lung oedema in all lead to a preliminary diagnosis of bluetongue, despite the absence of ulceration and hyperaemia of the oral mucosa which is chara ... | 2016 | 27723038 |
| Experimental infection of South American camelids with bluetongue virus serotype 8. | Bluetongue (BT) is an infectious, non-contagious disease of wild and domestic ruminants. It is caused by bluetongue virus (BTV) and transmitted by Culicoides biting midges. Since 1998, BT has been emerging throughout Europe, threatening not only the naïve ruminant population. Historically, South American camelids (SAC) were considered to be resistant to BT disease. However, recent fatalities related to BTV in captive SAC have raised questions about their role in BTV epidemiology. Data on the sus ... | 2012 | 21862245 |

| [testing for btv, bvdv and bhv-1 in blood samples of new world camelids kept in middle germany]. | the susceptibility of camelids for infectious agents which may result in severe economic losses or which are strictly regulated for epidemiological reasons in farm animals potentially causes a mutual risk of transmission. this study aimed to investigate the presence of antibodies against bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv-1), bluetongue virus (btv) and bovine viral diarrhoea virus (bvdv) as well as the presence of pestivirus antigen in new world camelids in central germany. therefore 107 serum samples fr ... | 2010 | 21141278 |
| humoral response to 2 inactivated bluetongue virus serotype-8 vaccines in south american camelids. | bluetongue virus serotype 8 (btv-8) has caused disease in domestic ruminants in several countries of northern europe since 2006. in 2008 a mass-vaccination program was launched in most affected countries using whole virus inactivated vaccines. | 2010 | 20492489 |
