Bluetongue virus (BTV), the aetiological agent of bluetongue (BT), is a small (about 70 nm in diameter) icosahedral virus with a genome composed of ten linear segments of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which is packaged within an icosahedral nucleocapsid composed of seven structural pro-teins. The BTV genome evolves rapidly via genetic drift, reassortment of genome segments (genetic shift) and intragenic recombination. This evolution, and random fixation of quasispecies variants during transmission of BTV between susceptible animals and vectors appear to be the main mechan-ism leading to the observed genetic diversity amongst BTV field strains. The individual BTV gene segments evolve independently of one another by genetic drift in a host-spe...
