News

French veterinarians have now vaccinated the first sheep and cattle against bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV8).  They are the first animals in Europe to be protected against BTV8; they were given a Merial vaccine.
This represents the first part of a 200,000 dose order announced by the French Ministry of Agriculture and Fishing on 4 March to enable animals to be exported to Italy.  
BTV8 is the serotype that is threatening the U.K.  This latest vaccine joins Merial's existing roster against BTV serotypes 2, 4 and 9.
The picture shows BTV8 vaccination with the Merial vaccine taking place recently in Central France.
