Article Synopsis
- - Europe frequently experiences the introduction of bluetongue virus (BTV) serotypes, with serotype 3 recently appearing in the Netherlands, largely spread by the Culicoides insect vector through wind.
- - A new Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) method was created to evaluate the risk of BTV-3 being spread from Sardinia to mainland Europe, using advanced atmospheric models to predict how far the virus-carrying insects can fly.
- - The study indicates that the risk of BTV introduction is mainly confined to the Mediterranean region, particularly affecting parts of Italy and neighboring areas, but longer flight durations suggest possible spread to northern and central Italy and parts of France and Spain, highlighting the need for better data
