© 2020, The Author(s). Transplacental transmission (TPT) of wild-type Indian BTV-1 had never been experimentally proved. This study was first time investigated TPT of Indian BTV-1 (isolated from aborted and stillborn goat fetal spleens). The sequenti...

© 2018, Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia. Equine encephalosis (EE) is an acute, arthropod-borne, noncontagious, febrile disease of equids. The clinical signs of EE are similar to milder forms of African horse sickness (AHS) and the two diseases...

Comparative neuropathology of major Indian Bluetongue virus serotypes in a neonatal BALB/c mouse model (2018)
Journal Article
Anjaneya, A., Singh, K., Cherian, S., Saminathan, M., Singh, R., Ramakrishnan, M., …Mertens, P. (2018). Comparative neuropathology of major Indian Bluetongue virus serotypes in a neonatal BALB/c mouse model. Journal of Comparative Pathology, 162, 18-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcpa.2018.06.001

Bluetongue virus (BTV) is neurotropic in nature, especially in ruminant fetuses and in-utero infection results in abortion and congenital brain malformations. The aim of the present study was to compare the neuropathogenicity of major Indian BTV sero...
