Abstract
BTV-3 emerged in the Netherlands in 2023 and spread rapidly to neighboring countries. Compared to the BTV-8 outbreak in 2006, the course of the BTV-3 epizootic is more severe. Experimental infection of laboratory-reared Culicoides sonorensis midges showed a slightly higher replication rate of BTV-3 than of BTV-8. One sentence summary lineWe experimentally infected laboratory-reared Culicoides sonorensis biting midges with bluetongue virus (BTV) serotypes 3 and 8 using virus-containing blood meal and found slightly higher replication rates of BTV-3.
