Article Synopsis
- EHDV is a virus affecting deer and cattle, and researchers in Trinidad monitored cattle for EHDV for six months after importation from the USA.
- The study found all cattle tested positive for EHDV within that time, and specifically identified the circulating serotype as EHDV-6.
- Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Trinidad EHDV-6 strain is closely related to strains from Guadeloupe, Martinique, and the USA, tracing its origins back to Australia around 1966.
