Introduction: The Unified Protocol (UP) is a psychotherapeutic intervention that has proven to be effective for the transdiagnostic treatment of emotional disorders, both in individual and group format. Recently, its virtual application through teletherapy has begun to be studied. In a previous pilot study carried out in Argentina in a sample of 7 subjects, significant decreases were observed in levels of depression, difficulties in emotional regulation, hopelessness and negative affect and a significant increase in quality of life after having applied the PU in virtual and group format to people with emotional disorders.
Method: The present work aims to evaluate the maintenance of the results observed in this study after three months.
Results: No statistically significant differences were observed in any of the variables analyzed, which shows that the results achieved have been maintained.
Discussion: The UP is presented as a promising intervention for the treatment of emotional disorders in a virtual and group format, although further research is required in order to generalize the results.

A newly formatted enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies to bluetongue virus (BTV) was developed and validated for bovine and ovine sera and plasma. Validation of the new sandwich ELISA (sELISA) was achieved with 949 negative bovine and ovine sera from BTV endemic and non-endemic areas of Australia and 752 BTV positive (field and experimental) sera verified by VNT and/or PCR. The test diagnostic sensitivity (DSe) and diagnostic specificity (DSp) were 99.
