“…In bulls, a positive relationship has been found between the infectivity of semen samples from animals latently infected with BTV and abnormalities in the heads of spermatozoa affected by virus-like particles. In rams, BTV infection has a significant impact on a number of sperm variables such as sperm concentration, motility, viability and sperm abnormalities (Kirschvink et al 2009), which could seriously affect fertility. The present results, however, suggest that seropositivity to BTV has no effect on ibex sperm abnormalities or on other sperm variables.…”

“…Cattle and sheep are the main species affected, and signs of the disease in goats are less severe (usually subclinical; Komarov and Goldsmit 1951). The time passed since infection might also have an influence on the values of sperm variables; the quality of the semen of affected rams reaches normal reference values around 85 days after the onset of clinical disease (Kirschvink et al 2009). …”

“…Die beobachteten bzw. von den Haltern berichteten klinischen Krankheitserscheinungen wichen nicht wesentlich von den von anderen Autoren beschriebenen ab (10,11,13). Lediglich die bis zum Ausschuhen gehenden Klauenveränderungen wurden in dieser Ausprägung noch nicht dokumentiert.…”

“…9 Wochen nach Erkrankung noch deutlich zu erkennen. In ihrer Lanzeitstudie beobachteten Kirschvink et al (13) eine Erholung der Spermiogenese etwa 85 Tage nach der klinischen Erkrankung der Böcke. Eine Spermienqualität innerhalb der Referenzgrenzen erreichten die Böcke zwischen 63 und 138 Tagen nach der klinischen Diagnose der Blauzungenkrankheit.…”
