Seroprevalence and Risk Factors of the Bluetongue Virus in Cattle in China From 1988 to 2019: A Comprehensive Literature Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Background: Bluetongue caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV) is a non-contagious and an insect-borne disease mainly affecting domestic and wild ruminants. Bluetongue in cattle is associated with vesicular lesions, weight loss, low milk production, and low reproductive capacity. It should not be ignored as it is associated with large economic losses to the livestock breeding industry in China. Although many studies have investigated bluetongue virus infection in cattle, no nationwide study on the prevalence of b… Show more

“…A funnel plot, trim and fill method and an Egger's test were used to evaluate the publication bias of studies. In addition, the stability of our study was determined by using a sensitivity analysis (27). Meanwhile, we performed subgroup analysis stratified by the potential risk factors to explore the potential sources of heterogeneity in our meta-analysis (28).…”

“…All statistical computing was conducted in R version 4.0.2 (35). Based on previous studies, we chose arcsine transformation (PFT) data to be closer to the normal distribution before our meta-analysis (W = 0.96961; P < 0.05; SupplementaryTable 1) (36).…”
