Bluetongue
The situation in the UK has remained static since the last confirmed premise for BTV-8 (an imported case) was detected on 14 November 2008:
16 December 2009
Results of the bluetongue winter surveillance show all samples were negative for all bluetongue serotypes.
Vaccination played a key role in keeping us free from circulating disease in 2008 and 2009 and will provide the greatest security against loss should there be a resurgence of disease in 2010. Livestock keepers are encouraged to take the advice of their vet when making vaccination decisions.
For more information on the various serotypes in Europe, the movement guidance and any other information in relation to bluetongue, please go to the DEFRA website. |
