本文介绍了一种快速、标准化的方法，用于测试蓝舌病病毒（BTV）的北方古北库蠓种蠓，可用于评估能力的现场捕获和实验室感染的蠓。该方法已被用于表明，苏格兰库蠓可以复制BTV血清型8和BTV血清型9菌株超过3 log（10）TCID 50/蠓，这是该物种传播BTV潜力的第一个证据。
This paper describes a rapid, standardised method for testing the susceptibility to bluetongue virus (BTV) of northern Palaearctic Culicoides species midges that can be used to assess the competence of both field-caught and laboratory-infected midges. The method has been used to show that Culicoides scoticus can replicate BTV serotype 8 and BTV serotype 9 strains to more than 3 log(10) TCID50/midge, the first evidence of the potential of this species to transmit BTV.
