Bluetongue: Europe at the crossroads of the endemic

Abstract:

Ten years ago bluetongue was considered an exotic disease but it is now potentially endemic. This article reviews recent data to provide an overview of the European epidemiological situation. The species that are susceptible to the disease as well as the properties of the vectors are studied. Information on the virus is also analysed in particular the mode of introduction into an area and the epidemiological mechanisms of proliferation.
