Article Synopsis
- Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) is caused by the EHD virus (EHDV), which has multiple serotypes, with a new strain called EHDV-8 emerging in Tunisia in late 2021.
- The study identified EHDV-8 in deer carcasses in Tunisia during 2021 and 2022 and explored potential insect vectors responsible for its transmission, particularly near Tozeur, where it was confirmed in cattle.
- Genetic analysis revealed that the EHDV-8 sequences from deer and the collected insect vectors were highly similar, indicating close correspondence and confirming the presence of the virus in both species.
