Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an arthropod-borne virus transmitted by Culicoides biting midges that primarily affects sheep, cattle, and other ruminants. Infection can cause fever, swelling of the face and tongue, oral ulcers, lameness, and respiratory difficulties, with disease severity varying by species and viral serotype. Sheep are often more severely affected, while cattle may serve as important hosts for virus circulation. Rapid and accurate molecular detection supports virus identification, disease surveillance, and timely implementation of veterinary control measures to help protect livestock health.
