Our bluetongue virus specialist, Dr Carrie Batten, shares insights into a disease that threatens the livestock industry.
Bluetongue does not affect people or food safety. It is a disease of sheep, cattle and other ruminants caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV).
The Pirbright Institute has begun testing for bluetongue virus (BTV) following a single reported case in Norfolk.
The UK Deputy Chief Veterinary Officer confirmed a case of bluetongue virus BTV3 in a single sheep at a premises near Haddiscoe, the first case detected in the 2024/25 midge season.
Vaccinology specialist Dr Priscilla Tng is one of 15 promising UK researchers to have been awarded a Fellowship by UK Research and Innovation’s Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
