What are the symptoms of bluetongue?

Clinical symptomsThe Bluetongue virus causes disease in sheep, cattle, and other ruminants. even though all ruminant species can be infected by the bluetongue virus the clinical signs of the disease are usually restricted to domesticated breeds of sheep. Other animals such as goats and cattle rarely show any symptoms. However, a relatively high number of cattle have been affected during the current outbreak in Northern Europe.In sheep, Bluetongue Disease is characterised by a fever that may last for several days. The virus mainly affects small blood vessels and this can lead to reddening (hyperaemia)and swelling (oedema) of the lips, mouth, nasal linings and eyelids which may result in lameness. The animals may also have quickened breathing and nasal discharges, excess salivation and frothing.As infected animals may not show clinical symptoms, Bluetongue Virus may spread into new areas without necessarily being noticed.
