Journal ArticleDOI

Bluetongue: a historical and epidemiological perspective with the emphasis on South Africa

TL;DR: The immunization of susceptible sheep remains the most effective and practical control measure against BT, and three pentavalent attenuated vaccines have been developed in order to protect sheep against multiple circulating serotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging epidemic dog rabies in coastal South Africa: a molecular epidemiological analysis.

TL;DR: This work analyzes a variable 592 nucleotide genome sequence domain of 170 rabies viruses from KwaZulu Natal and surrounding regions to underline the success and opportunism of rabies in southern Africa, in a likely reflection of the emergence and radiation of rabie in new host species and locales throughout the larger continent as a whole.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bluetongue virus genetic and phenotypic diversity: towards identifying the molecular determinants that influence virulence and transmission potential.

TL;DR: A synopsis of issues and some of the studies that have been conducted on BTV and the closely related African horse sickness virus that have contributed to ongoing attempts to identify the molecular determinants that influence the virus' phenotype are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of experimental infections with bluetongue virus in the mammalian host

TL;DR: The three Rs (replacement, reduction and refinement) have been implemented in the design of experimental infection studies with BTV in mice and goats and the use of the ARRIVE guidelines for the reporting of data from animal infection studies is emphasized.
