![]() ![]() Esta enfermedad se describió en detalle a principios del siglo XIX y aún hoy constituye una de las principales preocupaciones en la salud animal, por lo que se continúa estudiando para aclarar su epidemiología, patogenia y controlar así su diseminación. El virus se transmite entre los animales por picaduras de insectos del género Culicoides, lo que hace que su prevalencia sea mayor en las zonas geográficas donde el clima favorece el desarrollo de los mismos. Es muy temida pese a ser inocua para el hombre y de solo mediana mortalidad. Es una enfermedad de gran importancia clínica por el deterioro físico y la larga convalecencia que provoca y, desde el punto de vista económico, por las colosales pérdidas de producción y gastos de prevención y control. Virus de la Lengua azul: un virus conocido, una amenaza presente RESUMEN: La Lengua azul es una enfermedad viral no contagiosa, aguda, que afecta a los rumiantes. In this review, an attempt has been made to summarize some aspects of the disease related to its history, economic importance and etiological agent, the viral genome organization, the disease epidemiology and distribution, its clinical signs and lesions, as well as its diagnosis. The disease was described in detail in early 1900, and at present, is one of the main concerns in animal health, being studied in order to clarify its epidemiology and pathogenesis and to control its spreading. ![]() ![]() Bluetongue virus spreads from animal to animal by biting insects of the genus Culicoides and this is the reason for the disease being more prevalent in the geographic areas where climate conditions are favorable for the insect development. It is highly feared in spite of being innocuous for man and of only medium mortality. It is a disease of great clinical importance for the physical deterioration and the long convalescence that it causes and, from the economic point of view, for the colossal production losses and prevention and control expenses. Bluetongue is a non-contagious acute viral disease affecting ruminants. ![]()
