Blauwtong

What is bluetongue?

Bluetongue is a viral disease that occurs in cattle and other ruminants, such as sheep and goats. The disease is named after its most prominent symptom, which is the bluish discolouration of the tongue and mucous membranes of infected animals.

How can cattle and other ruminants contract bluetongue?

Bluetongue is caused by the Bluetongue virus, which has several serotypes and is transmitted by midges, small insects that feed on the blood of infected animals.

What are the consequences of bluetongue?

The disease can range from mild to severe and has significant economic impact on the livestock industry due to reduced productivity, loss of animals and trade restrictions resulting from outbreaks.

Preventive measures against bluetongue?

Since bluetongue is spread by midges, it is important to take measures to control this insect population. This can include the use of insecticides and insect repellents.
