Abstract:Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV: Reoviridae: Orbivirus) is a Culicoides-borne pathogen that affects a variety of ruminants, causing significant economic losses and/or ecological impacts in animal agriculture/wildlife populations worldwide. In this study, we examined the effect of EHDV serotype-2 oral infection on the survival and reproduction of Culicoides sonorensis Wirth and Jones (a confirmed vector of EHDV in North America), and the potential vertical transmission of EHDV-2 (from infected female … Show more
