Bluetongue: An update from the UK on spread control measures and vaccination


Dr Fiona Lovatt from Flock Health joins Ciaran Lynch on this week’s OviCast to talk about the bluetongue situation in the UK.

Fiona gives a description of the condition and explains the impact it has on livestock, while a discussion takes place on its spread across Europe and the UK, and the control measures put in place to limit its impact and how they work.

Ciaran and Fiona also discuss the role of vaccination and how this differs from previous serotypes encountered.
