Abstract

A study was conducted in 2016 to observe the seroprevalence and antigenic prevalence of bluetongue virus (BTV) in goats of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Indirect ELISA and sandwich ELISA were employed to study the seroprevalence and antigenic prevalence. The study revealed 78.49% seropositivity and 72.5% positive for BTV antigens. Thus, the study could be able to reveal the prevalence of BTV antibody and antigens in a unique island ecosystem of India where the arthropod-borne virus was previously absent.
