Abstract
SUMMARY: Infection of cattle with bluetongue and Douglas viruses was detected on the central and southern coast of New South Wales from January to April 1989. Bluetongue virus infection was found well south of areas of expected occurrence. Evidence is presented to support wind‐borne dispersal of infected vectors, Culicoides brevitarsis, southwards from the Hunter Valley.Keywords
