Bluetongue (BT) and peste-des-petits-ruminants (PPR) are major transboundary diseases of small ruminant, which are endemic in India. Testing of bluetongue virus (BTV) and peste-des-petits-ruminants virus (PPRV) from recent outbreaks (2015–2016) in di...

Development and evaluation of real time RT-PCR assays for detection and typing of Bluetongue virus (2016)
Journal Article
Richard, Y., Maan, S., Maan, N. S., Belaganahalli, M. N., Potgieter, A. C., Kumar, V., …Mertens, P. P. (2016). Development and evaluation of real time RT-PCR assays for detection and typing of Bluetongue virus. PLoS ONE, 11(9), Article e0163014. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0163014

Bluetongue virus is the type species of the genus Orbivirus, family Reoviridae. Bluetongue viruses (BTV) are transmitted between their vertebrate hosts primarily by biting midges (Culicoides spp.) in which they also replicate. Consequently BTV distri...
