Abstract

The clinical signs observed in affected animals during the 2023 BTV-3 outbreak seem to be more severe than those observed during the BTV-8 outbreak between 2006 and 2008. It seems likely that BTV-3 will overwinter, similar to BTV-8. Therefore, the availability of an effective and safe vaccine is crucial to limit the future impact of BTV-3.
