The bluetongue virus is transmitted by biting midges (Culicoides spp.); it is not contagious from animal to animal. Infections range from mild to severe, depending on the species affected. Sheep are most likely to show symptoms.

Bluetongue (the disease caused by BTV) is usually considered to be a disease of improved breeds of sheep, particularly the fine-wool and mutton breeds, although it has also been recorded in cattle and some wild ruminant species, including white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana), and desert bighorn ...
