Vaccination as a Strategy to Prevent Bluetongue Virus Vertical Transmission

Bluetongue virus (BTV) produces an economically important disease in ruminants of compulsory notification to the OIE. BTV is typically transmitted by the bite of <i>Culicoides</i> spp., however, some BTV strains can be transmitted vertically, and this is associated with fetus malformatio...
