Abstract

Bluetongue virus serotype 3 has been detected in a sheep in the Western part of the island of Sicily (Italy). This area is 150 km away from the peninsula of Cap Bon (Tunisia), where recent activities included in the Bluetongue National Surveillance plan demonstrated the widespread circulation of the same BTV strain.
