“…Some of them die during capture. Bender et al (2003) were performed a serologic study in Oryx Gazella, ninety-six percent (48/50) of them were found to be seropositive for BTV in New Mexico, USA. Frölich et al (2005) studied Arabian Oryx,15.9% (31/194) and 39.3% (37/94) seropositivity rates were detected in Unites Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, respectively.…”

Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a vector-borne disease of ruminants disseminated in the tropic and sub-tropic zone of the world. It is also an important problem in the Middle East. Three serotypes (4-9-16) of the virus have been isolated so far in Turkey. Gazella subgutturosa subgutturosa (Goitred Gazella) is native species of Anatolia. Due to risk of extinction, captured Gazelles have been taken under protection in a restricted area at Ceylanpinar state farm. In this study, the presence of Bluetongue virus (BTV) was investigated serologically in 82 Goitred Gazella, 684 sheep and 100 cattle. Seropositivity rates in Gazella, sheep and cattle were detected as 40.2%, 295% and 88%, respectively.

“…BTV has a very wide host range including sheep, cattle, goat, gazella spp., bighorn sheep, antelope and various types of artiodactiles (Hourrigan and Klingsporn 1975;Hoff and Hoff 1976;Bender et al 2003).…”

“…The circulation of BTV has been previously described in a wide range of wild ruminant species in many countries from different continents, including North America (Hoff and Trainer 1978;Aguirre et al 1995;Stallknecht and Howerth 2004;Johnson et al 2006), South America (Rivera et al 1987;Bender et al 2003), Africa (Formenty et al 1994), Asia (Frölich et al 2005) and Europe (De Curtis et al 2006;Henrich et al 2007;Gür 2008;Linden et al 2008). …”

Bluetongue epidemiology in wild ruminants from Southern Spain

et al. 2008

Serum samples from 210 wild ruminants collected between 2006 and 2007 in southern Spain were tested for antibodies against bluetongue virus (BTV) by means of a competitive ELISA assay. Eighty-seven of the 210 wild ruminants analysed (41%) showed antibodies against BTV. Statistically significant differences were found in the seroprevalence among species: 66% (65 of 98) for red deer (Cervus elaphus), 50% (ten of 20) for fallow deer (Dama dama), 33% (three of nine) for mouflon (Ovis aries musimon) and 11% (nine of 83) for Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica). Overall, the sites where seropositive wild ruminants were found coincide with the areas where BTV had been detected in livestock, but in eastern Sierra Morena, the virus circulated in wild ruminants, although it had not been detected in domestic ruminants in the same areas. Wild ruminants over 1-year of age (sub-adults and adults) had significantly higher seroprevalences than juvenile animals. Statistically significant differences were also observed between BTV seroprevalence and management (free-ranging vs. captivity) with higher prevalence in freeranging animals. The high seroprevalences obtained suggest that BTV is widespread in wild ruminants in southern Spain. This factor could have an important influence on the evolution of the infection in domestic livestock and indicates the need to include wild ruminant species in BTV surveillance or control programs.

Possible mechanisms for the rapid increase in the New Mexican gemsbok population include predator and parasite release, competitive release, and an expanded diet compared to native populations in southern Africa.…”
