Greece has reported 10 outbreaks of the BTV3 bluetongue virus in sheep and goats, indicating a serious agricultural health threat in the region.
Farmers in the UK have been warned about the very high probability of the new BTV3 strain being introduced via midges blown in from Europe.
While the bluetongue virus does not affect human health, its impact on livestock can lead to significant economic losses for farmers.
The new BTV3 variant has prompted increased vaccination efforts across Europe, particularly in countries like France to combat its spread.
