Abstract
Nine white-tailed deer and 6 sheep were experimentally exposed to the California BTV-8 strain of bluetongue virus. The infections were fatal for 7 of the 9 deer. An additional deer died from exposure to an isolate of bluetongue virus from bighorn sheep. Clinical signs and lesions of bluetongue in deer were described. The incubation period, signs and lesions of bluetongue and epizootic hemorrhagic disease of deer appear to be similar. Virus isolations were made from the blood and a variety of tissues of exposed deer and identified as bluetongue virus. Neutralizing antibodies were detected in all oi the convalescent sera.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
