2001年，在科索沃发现了蓝舌病临床病例，同年以及2003年和2004年，从牛和小反刍动物中采集了血清样本，并检测了蓝舌病病毒抗体。结果提供了证据，证明2001年夏天之前科索沃不存在蓝舌病毒，但该病毒于2002年、2003年和2004年在科索沃的牛羊种群中亚临床传播。
In 2001, clinical cases of bluetongue were observed in Kosovo, and in that year and in 2003 and 2004, serum samples were collected from cattle and small ruminants and tested for antibodies to bluetongue virus. The results provide evidence that bluetongue virus was not present in Kosovo before the summer of 2001, but that the virus circulated subclinically among the cattle and sheep populations of Kosovo in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
