Abstract
La lengua azul es una enfermedad vírica, vectorial y transfronteriza, transmitida principalmente por especies del género Culicoides y que afecta esencialmente a rumiantes, con un gran impacto socioeconómico y sobre la sanidad animal en las regiones donde está presente. Por ende, es una enfermedad de declaración obligatoria para la Organización Mundial de Sanidad Animal (OIE). A finales del siglo XX, se la consideraba una enfermedad exótica en Europa, no obstante, desde1998 se ha experimentado una incesante introducción y posterior circulación de diferentes cepas del virus de la lengua azul (VLA), el agente etiológico responsable de la enfermedad. Su importancia para el sector ganadero justifica el estudio de la enfermedad y su epidemiología para prevenir el endemismo de ésta en ciertas áreas de Europa y concretamente en España. Por tanto, el principal objetivo de esta tesis titulada “Nuevas herramientas para la prevención del endemismo de la lengua azul”, es el de desarrollar y aplicar herramientas que posibiliten mejorar los planes de vigilancia activa, control y erradicación de la enfermedad en España...
Bluetongue is a transboundary arboviral disease transmitted mainly by species of the genus Culicoides. It affects essentially ruminants and has a great socioeconomic and animal health impact in areas where is present. Hence, it is a notifiable disease for the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). At the end of the 20th century, it was considered an exotic disease in Europe, however, since 1998 there has been an incessant introduction and subsequent circulation of different strains of the bluetongue virus (BTV), the etiological agent of the disease. Its importance for the livestock industry justifies the study of the disease and its epidemiology to prevent its endemism in certain areas of Europe and specifically in Spain. Thus, the main objective of this thesis entitled “New tools to prevent the endemism of bluetongue”, is to develop and apply tools to improve active surveillance, control and eradication plans for bluetongue in Spain...
