Electron micrograph of Bluetongue virus, scale bar = 50 nm. Bluetongue (BT) disease is a noncontagious, arthropod-borne viral disease affecting ruminants, [1] primarily sheep and other domestic or wild ruminants, including cattle, yaks, [2] goats, buffalo, deer, dromedaries, and antelope. [3]
These symptoms develop about 7 days after the animal was exposed to the virus and 8–36 hours after the onset of initial observable signs; deer progress into a shock-like state, collapse and die. [2] Examinations of infected deer suggest the virus interferes with normal blood circulation and normal blood clotting mechanisms.
Deer with the peracute form of the disease may go into shock 8–36 hours after the onset of symptoms, and are found lying dead. [2] Death is also common in deer with acute EHD, which is generally comparable to peracute EHD and is characterized by excessive salivation, nasal discharge, and hemorrhaging of the skin. [4]
