Exposure of <i>Culicoides sonorensis</i> to Enzootic Strains of Bluetongue Virus Demonstrates Temperature- and Virus-Specific Effects on Virogenesis

Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a segmented RNA virus transmitted by <i>Culicoides</i> midges. Climatic factors, animal movement, vector species, and viral mutation and reassortment may all play a role in the occurrence of BTV outbreaks among susceptible ruminants. We used two enzootic strains...
