Basic Information
| Overview | The Arbovirus cause diseases such as bluetongue disease, akabane disease, and epizootic haemorrhagic disease in sheep and cattle. The virus is spread by Culicoides (midges insects), which are not present in New Zealand. However, strong winds can carry them from Australia. The Arbovirus Surveillance system evaluates sentinel areas in New Zealand for the presence of arbovirus and Culicoides sp. in order to protect the animal population. |
